euxaristiaandClaude Sonnet 5 177442cfe4 fix(specialist): cap max specialist nesting depth (#491)
* fix(specialist): cap max specialist nesting depth

A Task specialist can recursively spawn further specialists via --depth.
Without a ceiling, a runaway or malicious chain of Task calls can recurse
indefinitely, exhausting process and memory resources. Reject any run whose
depth exceeds a hard cap of 8.

Related to #470, not closing it: today's normal specialist/swarm path
cannot reach this recursively, since child sessions are launched with
--tag specialist and shouldRegisterExecSpecialistTools suppresses the Task
tool for that tag (see PR description for details). This is a
defense-in-depth guard, not a fix for an active exploit. Split out of #468
at reviewer request.

* fix(specialist): reject depth cap at the boundary, not past it

Addresses jatmn's review on PR #491:
- Executor.Run checked `CurrentDepth > maxSpecialistDepth`, but this call is
  what launches the child at CurrentDepth+1. A parent already AT the cap
  passed the check and started a child one level past it, only getting
  rejected on that child's own next call. Change to `>=` so the guard fires
  before the over-cap child is launched.
- Add TestRunRejectsDepthAtMax to cover the boundary explicitly.

* test(specialist): cover resume boundary in depth-cap guard

The pre-branch depth guard in Run sits before the fresh/resume split, but
the boundary test only exercised the fresh path, leaving a future refactor
free to move the guard without any test catching a resume regression.

smallnestandsmallnest 027a8f2768 fix(config): use ~/.config on macOS and enter setup when no provider (#371) (#372)
On macOS, DefaultUserConfigPath used Go's os.UserConfigDir which returns
~/Library/Application Support, while users (and Claude Code) place config
at ~/.config/zero/config.json. The user config was never read, leaving
activeProvider empty and the launch failing with `active provider "" not
found` on a fresh `go run cmd/zero setup`.

- Add config.UserConfigDir(): on darwin, resolve to ~/.config (honoring
  XDG_CONFIG_HOME), matching Linux and Claude Code. DefaultUserConfigPath,
  the TUI user-commands dir, and specialist manifests all route through it.
- Add config.ErrNoActiveProvider sentinel; the interactive TUI now drops
  into the setup wizard when resolve fails solely due to a missing/
  unresolvable active provider, instead of exiting fatally. Other resolve
  errors (malformed JSON, directory conflicts) remain fatal.

Note: `zero setup`/`zero auth` already MkdirAll the config dir before
writing, so the directory is auto-created on first write.

KRATOS 0914ced9e1 test: widen timing margins on two Windows-flaky CI tests (#359)
Both failed on windows-latest today, on merges of otherwise-unrelated
PRs (#349, #356) - neither PR touched internal/specialist or
internal/agenteval. Windows GitHub Actions runners have coarser default
timer granularity and more scheduling contention than Linux/macOS, so
tight timing margins that hold on the other two platforms aren't
reliable there.

- TestOutputToolBlocksUntilTaskCompletes: a 100ms poll timeout against a
  5ms background write left only 20x margin. Widened the timeout to
  2000ms (a ceiling, not a target - PollInterval keeps the test fast in
  the success case; it only changes how much CI jitter it tolerates
  before failing).
- TestHarnessTimeoutCancelsBlockedAgent: confirmed there's no actual data
  race (harness.Agent.Run is a direct synchronous call, not a spawned
  goroutine racing the assertions) - the failure was workspace
  materialization alone consuming the full 10s budget on a contended
  Windows runner, so the agent was never reached. Widened to 30s. This
  test's own design blocks for the full timeout to observe cancellation,
  so unlike the other fix this directly costs ~20s more wall-clock time,
  but that's inherent to what it's testing.

KRATOS 7fb0092de7 fix: agent runtime resilience — stream stalls, weak-model tool args, and sub-agent reliability (#349)
* fix(local): defeat the macOS stale-pooled-connection hang (transport + stall-retry)

Root cause (you confirmed it: both chatgpt AND ollama hung, only on macOS): providers
fell back to http.DefaultClient, whose pooled keep-alive connections get reused on a
later turn after the server/NAT silently dropped them. The model call is a POST
(non-idempotent), so Go won't auto-retry it on a fresh conn — it blocks forever.
macOS keeps dead pooled conns around longer than Linux, so it reproduced on macOS only.

1. providerio.HTTPClient now returns a shared, tuned transport (ResponseHeaderTimeout
   60s bounds a hung POST that gets no response; IdleConnTimeout 30s stops dead conns
   from lingering to be reused). Routed openai/codex through it too (anthropic/gemini
   already used HTTPClient). Slow first tokens / long reasoning are unaffected — the
   header timeout only bounds time-to-first-response-header, not the stream body.
2. Agent loop now retries a stream idle/stall timeout that produced NO output yet, on
   a fresh connection (capped + backoff). A partial-output turn is NOT retried (would
   duplicate). Recovers any stall that slips past the transport timeout.

Local only — not pushed.

* fix(local): tolerate concatenated tool-arg JSON + widen response-header timeout

1) Weak models (minimax-m3, glm) pack MULTIPLE concatenated top-level JSON objects
   into one tool-call arguments slot ({A}{B}), which json.Unmarshal rejects with
   'invalid character {' after top-level value' (~9 failed tool calls/session).
   New recoverableToolArguments returns the first JSON value ONLY when the payload is
   one value optionally followed by more WHOLE JSON values; it rejects a bad/truncated
   first value OR trailing NON-JSON garbage ({"x":1}xyz) so genuine corruption still
   errors (adversarial-review fix). decodeToolArguments uses it at the central dispatch
   (executeToolCall) so {A}{B} runs the first object; historySafeToolCalls uses the
   SAME helper so the replayed transcript records the recovered first object (not {}),
   keeping dispatch and history consistent. Truly-malformed JSON still hits the
   existing sanitize-to-{} + retry path. Trailing objects are dropped (the model
   re-issues on a later turn).

2) Raise the shared transport ResponseHeaderTimeout 60s -> 120s so a slow cloud proxy
   (ollama *:cloud) that withholds its 200 header until first token isn't wrongly
   aborted; still bounds a truly dead reused connection.

Local only — not pushed.

* feat(local): add /turns command + raise default maxTurns 30->50

Agentic multi-step runs (build + delegate + swarm + MCP + self-verify) routinely hit
the 30-turn ceiling mid-task and never reached the later steps; removing /mode earlier
also left NO interactive way to raise the budget.

- /turns [n]: per-session tool-turn budget setter (commandGroupSession), mirroring
  /selfcorrect. Empty/status shows the current budget; a positive int sets
  agentOptions.MaxTurns (read by the run at model.go); clamped to maxTurnsCeiling=500
  to guard against typos; invalid/non-positive shows usage without changing it.
- defaultMaxTurns 30 -> 50 (matches the old 'deep' preset). Raise per-run with /turns
  for long tasks (e.g. /turns 150 for a full acceptance run).

Local only — not pushed.

* fix(local): swarm reports failed members as failed + sub-agents inherit /turns budget

Issue B — a swarm member whose child exited non-zero (e.g. exit 4 / max-turns) was
recorded [done] (swarm_status '0 failed'), so the orchestrator — which can't see the
AGENTS panel — trusted incomplete work. The specialist launcher ignored
res.Result.Status; it now surfaces a StatusError result as a member FAILURE
(errors.New(report)) so the swarm marks it [failed]. Added Coordinator.FailWithSession
and switched the member watch path to it so a failed member keeps its session id
(still drillable) and its report rides along as the failure message.

Issue A — a member hit its OWN turn limit because /turns raised only the parent's
budget; children re-resolved config.json's default. New config.SetMaxTurnsEnv exports
ZERO_MAX_TURNS, read in applyEnv -> cfg.MaxTurns; /turns now exports it so spawned
sub-agents / swarm members (which inherit the env) run with the same budget. A
non-numeric/zero env value never clobbers the configured budget.

Tests: launcher non-zero-exit -> failed (+ session kept); SetMaxTurnsEnv round-trip
+ garbage-env guard; /turns exports + clamps the env. Full gate green (73 pkg).

Local only — not pushed.

* fix(local): corrective error for unknown specialist name + clamp ZERO_MAX_TURNS

1) A model that invents a specialist name (validator-runner, file-creator,
   file-writer — none registered) got an opaque 'specialist not found' and kept
   spawning doomed sub-agents. loadManifest now lists the available specialists and
   notes that 'worker' has shell/edit while explorer/code-review are read-only, so the
   model self-corrects to a capable specialist. New availableSpecialistList helper.

2) Defense-in-depth (review nit): applyEnv now clamps an inherited ZERO_MAX_TURNS to
   MaxTurnsCeiling, so a raw shell 'export ZERO_MAX_TURNS=999999' can't bypass the
   /turns ceiling. Ceiling promoted to config.MaxTurnsCeiling (single source of truth,
   referenced by the TUI /turns clamp).

Tests: unknown-name error lists worker/explorer/code-review; applyEnv clamps an
over-ceiling env value. Full gate green (73 pkg).

Local only — not pushed.

* fix(local): surface sub-agent kill signal instead of opaque exit -1

When a sub-agent child is terminated by a signal, command.Wait returns an ExitError
whose ExitCode() is -1, losing the cause. Capture ProcessState.String() (portable,
e.g. "signal: killed") into ChildRunResult.Signal and have BuildFinalResult render
it — "Subagent terminated by a signal (signal: killed) — killed before it finished.
Likely causes: the OS out-of-memory killer ... a timeout, or cancellation." — instead
of an opaque "Subagent failed (exit -1)". The message lists causes rather than
asserting OOM, since timeout/cancellation also SIGKILL the child. A captured signal
always surfaces even if a late run_end reported a clean exit. The background task
path (which can't carry the signal name) emits the same hint for a negative exit code.

* address CodeRabbit review on #349

- loop.go: gate stall-retry on a turn-level forwardedAnything flag (wrapped
  callbacks), so a retry never re-streams on top of output already forwarded earlier
  in the turn (e.g. across the reactive-compaction retry). New test covers a
  reasoning-then-stall (collected.Text empty but output forwarded).
- loop.go: route a reissued stream's non-stall error through the SAME recovery as
  the initial stream (image-rejection wrapping / context-limit compaction) via a
  shared recoverStreamError closure, instead of returning it raw.
- exec.go: drop the hardcoded worker/explorer/code-review guidance from the
  unknown-specialist error; rely on the dynamically-rendered available list (a
  custom registry may not have those names).
- streamer.go: kill-signal message lists OOM/timeout/cancellation evenhandedly
  instead of asserting OOM (the branch also covers timeouts/cancellations).
- launcher_specialist.go + exec.go: preserve the child SessionID on a post-start
  failure too, so FailWithSession keeps those failed members drillable.
- model.go: block /turns while a run is active (mid-run change would make the
  inherited ZERO_MAX_TURNS budget inconsistent for later-spawned sub-agents).

Vasanth T 46c44a8753 feat(swarm): let swarm members build (write + sandboxed shell) (#313)
* feat(swarm): let swarm members build (write + sandboxed shell)

Swarm subagents were effectively read-only: a member runs headless at
"--auto low" (PermissionModeAuto), and ToolAdvertised strips every
prompt-requiring tool from the model's list — so write_file/edit_file/
apply_patch/bash were never handed to the member. It only saw read/grep/
glob/plan tools, so it could not build and the orchestrator did all the
writes itself.

Add PermissionModeMemberAuto: a headless mode that ADVERTISES the
in-workspace mutators (SideEffectWrite + SideEffectShell) on top of the
Auto set, while behaving exactly like Auto everywhere else. The sandbox
engine still decides at call time — in-workspace writes and sandbox-backed
shell auto-allow; out-of-workspace writes, network, and destructive
commands prompt and so are denied headless. member-auto normalizes to Auto
in the sandbox layer, so no sandbox authority is widened beyond what an
interactive auto agent already has.

Scope: swarm members only. The launcher sets MemberAutonomy; the executor
emits "--auto member" for a non-unsafe member (unsafe still -> high, plain
specialists still -> low). Task-tool specialists are unchanged.

Windows note: shell only auto-runs when the OS sandbox is active; without
`zero sandbox setup` a member writes files but cannot run builds.

Vasanth T b2bb6c4b41 feat: five capability features from the reference-agent comparison (#276)
* feat(commands): user-defined slash commands from markdown files

Drop a markdown file at `.zero/commands/<name>.md` (project, shared with the
team) or `<userConfigDir>/zero/commands/<name>.md` (personal); typing
`/<name> args` expands its body template and submits it as a normal prompt.
Optional YAML frontmatter (`description:`, `model:`, `agent:`) feeds help text
and routing. This turns Zero's model-pulled skills into user-invokable,
repo-checked-in team workflows (`/release v1.2`, `/fix-flaky <test>`).

New internal/usercommands package: Load() scans the project + user dirs
(project shadows user on name collision, mirroring specialist scope
precedence), validates names to a safe slash-command shape, and parses
frontmatter with a self-contained parser. Expand() substitutes $ARGUMENTS,
$1..$9, and $$ (literal $); a placeholder-free template gets the raw args
appended so a trivial command still receives input.

Wiring: model loads commands at construction; the commandUnknown dispatch
checks the user set before reporting "unknown"; autocomplete lists user
commands alongside builtins. Builtins win on collision (listed first, shadow at
dispatch). Tests cover load/precedence/name-validation, the placeholder
substitution table, and the TUI dispatch + autocomplete + still-unknown paths.

* feat(init): guided /init that generates AGENTS.md seeded with repo facts

`/init` (TUI) and `zero init` (headless) investigate the repo and write a
concise AGENTS.md so future runs start with project context. Zero already has
the AGENTS.md loader and the repoinfo scanner, but the file only existed if a
user hand-authored it — this activates the machinery in one command.

New internal/agentinit.BuildPrompt seeds the bootstrap prompt with
repoinfo.Collect() output (primary language, build/test tools, CI, workspace
layout, git) formatted as a fact block, then instructs the agent to investigate
the gaps and write a tight AGENTS.md (build/test commands, conventions, things
to avoid). Collection failure is non-fatal — the agent investigates from
scratch. This is one better than a pure-prompt /init: the agent starts from
known facts instead of re-deriving them.

TUI: /init command + handleInitCommand reuse launchPrompt (standard run, tools,
AGENTS.md write path). Headless: `zero init` builds the prompt and forwards it
through the existing exec machinery, so all exec flags (--model, -w, --add-dir)
work unchanged. Tests cover FormatFacts (rendered/omitted fields), BuildPrompt,
and the TUI dispatch.

* feat(tools): lsp_navigate — semantic code navigation via the language server

A read-only, model-callable tool exposing LSP navigation: jump-to-definition,
find-all-references, find-implementations, and workspace_symbol search. The
agent can answer "where is X defined / who calls X / what implements this
interface" precisely, where grep collides on common names or misses indirect
references — cutting wasted read/grep turns and wrong-edit risk on large repos.

Zero already runs language servers for diagnostics, so this adds the
request/response navigation methods on top: Manager.Navigate syncs the file
(didOpen) then issues textDocument/definition|references|implementation or
workspace/symbol via the existing client.Call, decoding all three result shapes
(Location, []Location, []LocationLink). 1-based file:line:col in and out
(converting LSP's 0-based positions); the tool has its own lazily-started
manager (servers start on first use, reused across calls).

Opportunistic: a file type with no installed server, or a server lacking the
capability, degrades to a clear "unavailable — fall back to grep" message, not
an error. Registered in CoreReadOnlyToolsScoped. Tests cover the response-shape
decoding (incl. LocationLink + null), symbol decoding/kinds, unknown-op and
unsupported-extension degradation, and the tool's arg validation + read-only
safety.

* feat(agent): prune stale tool output before paid summarization

Long, dump-heavy sessions accumulate large read_file/grep/glob/bash tool
results the model has already acted on; their bodies are dead weight the loop
otherwise keeps paying an LLM summarizer to compress. Add a zero-cost prune
stage inside maybeCompact, before the summarizer: when over threshold, replace
the bodies of OLD, large tool results with a compact placeholder, recompute
size, and only fall through to the paid Compact() if still over.

pruneStaleToolOutput walks newest-first, protects the last preserveLast
messages plus a trailing 40k-token window of tool output (most likely still in
use), and prunes only tool results older than that and larger than 200 tokens —
gated so the whole pass is a no-op unless reclaimable output exceeds 20k tokens.
It keeps the tool message and its ToolCallID (provider replay stays valid; the
model knows what was there and can re-run the tool), never touches non-tool
messages, never re-prunes a placeholder (idempotent), and copies-on-write so it
never mutates the caller's slice. Recent turns are preserved verbatim — no
paraphrase loss, no token or latency cost.

Tests cover the reclaim gate, recent-window protection, idempotence,
non-tool-message safety, ToolCallID/role preservation, and no-input-mutation.

* feat(agent): reconnect on a transient model disconnect instead of ending the run

A long autonomous task (a big refactor, a swarm member, a headless/cron run)
should survive a single transient upstream hiccup rather than dying and
re-burning every token on a restart. When the initial StreamCompletion connect
fails with a disconnect-shaped error, streamWithReconnect re-issues the SAME
request with exponential backoff up to 2 times.

It retries only the connect — before any content is forwarded — so no
already-streamed OnText is ever duplicated. A context-limit error (the
compactor's job), an image rejection, a non-disconnect error, or a cancelled
context is returned immediately without retry, so the reconnect never fights
the existing handlers. Disconnect classification matches EOF / connection
reset|refused|closed / broken pipe / timeout / 502 / 503 / server-closed.
Reconnect attempts surface through OnReasoning ("connection lost —
reconnecting N/max"), a non-content channel that never corrupts the answer
text; silent when there's no reasoning sink.

Tests: recover-from-transient, give-up-after-max, no-retry-on-context-limit,
stop-on-context-cancel, the disconnect-vs-not classifier, backoff growth, and
the notice routing.

* fix(specialist): add lsp_navigate to knownToolNames

The new lsp_navigate tool was added to the core read-only registry but not to
specialist.knownToolNames, which mirrors the core tool set — so
TestKnownToolNamesMatchCoreRegistry failed (the list drifted from the registry).
Add it to the read-only group to match.

* fix(tools): confine lsp_navigate to the workspace (close arbitrary-file-read)

Review caught that lsp_navigate dropped the PathScope every sibling read-only
tool (read_file/glob/grep) carries, and its readFile joined or used the
model-supplied path verbatim — so `path:"/etc/passwd"` (absolute) or
`path:"../../etc/..."` (escaping) read arbitrary files off disk AND opened them
into the language-server subprocess, reachable via indirect prompt injection.

Add NewScopedLSPNavigateTool(workspaceRoot, scope) (NewLSPNavigateTool now
delegates with nil scope), resolve the path through resolveScopedReadPath BEFORE
reading or building the LSP request — the same confinement the neighbouring
tools enforce — and hand the LSP manager the resolved absolute path so it never
opens an out-of-workspace file. Errors echo only the relative path, never an
absolute one. Registered via the scoped constructor in CoreReadOnlyToolsScoped.

Regression test asserts `/etc/passwd` and `../../` are rejected for both the
position and workspace_symbol ops; verified by mutation (bypassing the scope
resolution makes the test fail).

Anandan cf54e2cb0e Add persistent exec command sessions (#267)
* Add persistent exec command sessions

Introduce exec_command and write_stdin tools backed by a shared session manager so long-running shell commands can remain alive and be polled or interrupted across tool calls.

Wire exec_command through the existing shell permission, network prompt, command-prefix approval, sandbox grant scope, specialist manifest, and prompt/documentation paths.

Keep web_fetch limited to public remote HTTP(S) URLs so localhost/private URLs go through shell commands where sandbox network permission applies.

KRATOS 9e800b4ffc fix five concurrency/leak bugs (swarm, specialist, oauth, mcp, cron) (#265)
Surfaced by a full-tree audit; each ships a regression test where the
behavior is deterministically testable.

- swarm: deliver a handoff's mailbox note BEFORE registering the new task,
  so a mailbox failure can't leave a phantom pending task in the coordinator.
- specialist: put a foreground sub-agent child in its own process group and
  group-kill on cancel/timeout (+ WaitDelay backstop), so a build/server it
  forked dies with it instead of orphaning.
- oauth: serialize on-demand token refresh per key (keyed mutex) and re-load
  inside the lock, so parallel callers don't each spend the single-use
  refresh token (all but one would otherwise fail at the token endpoint).
- mcp: treat a "source already gone" rename during legacy-token migration as
  success, so a concurrent migrator doesn't wrongly drop an OAuth MCP server.
- cron: claim a due job atomically (advance NextRunAt under the per-job lock)
  before running it, so two schedulers can't double-fire the same job.
2026-06-20 10:39:55 +05:30
KRATOS 1c30f4c117 audit fixes: cron lock, accounting race, O(n²) hot paths, /style wiring (#260)
* audit fixes: cron lock, accounting race, O(n^2) hot paths, /style wiring

Fixes five verified findings from a code audit. Two related findings were already
addressed upstream and three need larger/separate work (noted below).

H-1 cron store: cross-process lock for the read-modify-write.
Two schedulers seeing a job due raced the metadata read-modify-write; fireJob
even documented it ("full atomicity needs file locking"). Adds a per-job O_EXCL
lock (mirroring internal/oauth's pattern, stale-reclaim included) and a Mutate
primitive doing the re-read+modify+write atomically. Update/Remove lock too. The
lock is held only for the millisecond RMW, never across a job's exec.

M-5 specialist accounting: close the check-then-append race.
specialistEventExists (unlocked ReadEvents) + a later AppendEvent let two
finishers (TaskOutput poll vs onExit, even cross-process) both pass the check and
write duplicate stop/usage events. Adds sessions.Store.AppendEventUnlessExists
(check + append atomic under the session lock) and routes the stop and usage
paths through it.

M-2 hooks audit: O(1) sequence via tail read.
append re-read and scanned the whole audit log every call to find the max
sequence (O(n^2) over a session). Reads only the file tail now; multi-process
safe (the log is a shared global file), unlike an in-memory counter which would
collide sequences across processes.

M-4 transcript rehydration: O(n^2) -> O(n).
The three resume/rewind/compact rehydration loops called appendTranscriptRow per
event, each re-scanning every existing row for the keyed-row dedup. A bulk
appendTranscriptRowsDedup builds the key set once; semantics are identical.

M-6 /style: actually shape responses.
The TUI /style command stored a style but never threaded it anywhere. Adds
agent.Options.ResponseStyle, a system-prompt directive for concise/explanatory/
review, and wires m.responseStyle through the run. "balanced" is a no-op (prompt
byte-identical to before).

Already addressed upstream (no change):
- M-1 forked-session double-count: Store.Fork already skips EventUsage events,
  with a comment naming the exact double-count it prevents.
- M-3 lineage O(N^2): Tree already does a single store.List() scan and indexes
  children in memory; no path calls List per node.

Deferred (need larger/separate changes):
- M-7 escalate_model in the TUI needs a ModelSwitcher that builds a provider
  mid-run; registering the tool alone yields a tool that errors on call.
- L-1 MCP SSE reconnect is a stream-lifecycle change (low-likelihood after the
  8 MiB per-event cap).
- L-2 dead-code removal belongs in a dedicated cleanup sweep.

Tests: per-fix unit tests including concurrency (cron Mutate, sessions
AppendEventUnlessExists) under -race; full go test ./... green.

* fix(windows): treat ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED as lock contention (cron + oauth)

The Windows smoke run failed TestMutateIsAtomicUnderConcurrency with
"...lock: Access is denied" (FireCount 19/20). On Windows a concurrent holder's
os.Remove leaves the lock file in a delete-pending state, so an O_EXCL create
races it with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (os.ErrPermission) rather than ErrExist — the
retry loop only treated ErrExist as contention and hard-failed.

Treat os.ErrPermission as contention (retry) in the new cron lock and in the
oauth lock it mirrors (oauth's own concurrent test exposed the same pre-existing
bug under the added load). Unix is unaffected — it returns ErrExist.

* fix: address review — cross-process atomic audit append + AppendRun guard

Addresses the review feedback on this PR.

P1 (blocking): AuditStore.append is now cross-process atomic.
The O(1) tail read observes another process's prior appends, but the read-then-
append was not atomic across processes — two could both read sequence N and write
N+1. Wraps lastSequence()+append in a per-file O_EXCL lock (hooks/lock.go, same
stale-reclaim + Windows ErrPermission handling as cron/oauth); store.mu stays as
the in-process fast path. Adds TestAuditStoreSequenceConcurrent (4 stores x 12
goroutines on one file -> unique dense sequences), which the prior sequential
test could not catch. Walked back the comment that oversold the tail read.

P2: AppendRun no longer resurrects a removed job.
fireJob's AppendRun ran after Mutate released the per-job lock; a Remove in that
window let AppendRun's MkdirAll recreate the dir with an orphaned runs.jsonl.
AppendRun now takes the per-job lock and bails if metadata.json is gone. Adds
TestAppendRunDoesNotResurrectRemovedJob.

P2: lastSequence ReadAt tolerates a short final read.
ReadAt may return io.EOF with n < len(buf) if the file shrank between Stat and
the read; treat EOF as non-fatal and use buf[:n] (matches lastEventSequence).

P3: oauth stale-reclaim no-op removed.
The double os.ReadFile "stale == data" guard compared the file to itself read
twice in a row (always true); staleness is decided by the mtime check, so the
guard is dropped (behavior-preserving).

Tests under -race; cron/hooks/oauth green. A shared filelock helper would DRY the
three near-identical locks — left as a follow-up to avoid churning the
already-green cron/oauth packages here.

Vasanth T b237e9849a feat(tui): sticky plan panel + specialist task cards + task table overlay (#255)
* feat(tui): sticky plan panel + specialist task cards + task table overlay

Three new TUI surfaces that give users live visibility into agent progress
and specialist delegation, so long turns and subagent work never look frozen.

Sticky plan panel (plan_panel.go):
- Pinned between the title bar and transcript body, shows the agent's
  step-by-step plan from the update_plan tool as a live checklist.
- Header with spinner + progress count + elapsed; text progress bar;
  per-step list with status icons (✓ completed, ⠹ in_progress, ○ pending,
  ✗ failed) and individual step timings.
- Auto-collapses to a one-line green summary 30s after completion.
  Ctrl+P toggles expand/collapse.
- Plan state synced from update_plan tool results via CurrentPlan();
  timestamps preserved across the tool's full-replacement updates by
  matching on content.

Specialist cards (specialist_card.go):
- New rowSpecialist transcript row kind; EventSpecialistStart/Stop
  now handled in session.go hydration (previously fell through to
  default and were silently dropped on resume).
- Animated card with spinner + name + task + elapsed + token count +
  tool call count. Blue while running, green when done, red on error.
- specialistTracker tracks live state; Task tool calls/returns are
  intercepted in the OnToolCall/OnToolResult callbacks to start/complete
  tracking and emit card rows.
- Height cache marks running specialist rows unstable so the spinner
  animates.

Task table overlay (task_table.go):
- Ctrl+G toggles a full-width overlay showing all specialists in the
  session as a sortable table: #, Specialist, Task, Status, Time,
  Tokens, Tools.
- Summary bar with running/completed/error counts, total tokens,
  aggregate elapsed.

Tests: plan_panel_test.go (7 tests), specialist_card_test.go (11 tests),
task_table_test.go (8 tests). All existing TUI tests pass.

* fix(update_plan): expose structured nested item schema so models stop sending bad arguments

The plan property's Items schema was omitted because of an outdated comment
claiming the serializer drops nested Properties/Required. The serializer
(propertyToRuntimeMap) already handles them recursively. Without the nested
schema, weaker models guessed the item structure from a text description and
sent malformed arguments, hitting the 4-strike guardrail halt.

Now exposes Items as an object with content (string, required), status (enum),
and notes (string).

* fix(tui): route plan + specialist updates through message sink, not stale closures

The OnToolCall/OnToolResult callbacks captured model by value, so
m.plan.updateFromItems() and m.specialists.start/complete() mutated stale
copies that never reached the live model. Introduced planUpdateMsg,
specialistStartMsg, and specialistCompleteMsg tea.Msg types sent through
runtimeMessageSink, handled in updateModel() where they mutate the live model.

* feat(tui): subchat drill-in for specialist sessions

Enter on a task table row loads the child session's events and swaps the
transcript view to show the subagent's full conversation (user messages,
agent text, tool calls, results). A nav bar at the top shows the specialist
name/task and a back hint. ArrowUp or Esc pops back to the main chat at the
saved scroll position.

- subchat.go: subchatState with enter/exit, renderSubchatNavBar
- transcript_selection.go: transcriptBodyItemsFromRows renders arbitrary
  rows (reuses the same rendering pipeline as the main transcript)
- model.go: Enter on task table row triggers drill-in; ArrowUp/Esc exits;
  transcriptView() short-circuits to child rows when subchat is active

* fix(ci): strip CRLF line endings and BOM from plan_tool_test.go and update_plan.go

gofmt and git diff --check failed on ubuntu CI because PowerShell's
Set-Content wrote UTF-8 with BOM and CRLF. Stripped both to plain LF
without BOM.

* feat(tui): add renderLeftRuleCard helper for borderless specialist cards

* feat(tui): switch specialist cards to left-rule rendering, drop hint line

* feat(tui): add renderSpecialistSummary one-line rollup for specialist cards

* fix(tui): correct slice offset in renderSpecialistSummary and add pluralization test

The muted tail was sliced at summary[len(spinnerView)] but the spinner
sits at byte offset 2 (after the 2-space indent), so the slice cut into
the spinner's UTF-8 continuation bytes and dropped the indent. Slice at
2+len(spinnerView) instead. Also add a test asserting '2 errors' is
present and '2 error' (singular) is absent when two specialists errored.

* refactor(tui): remove task table overlay — cards carry everything now

* feat(tui): render specialist summary line above cards in transcript

* feat(tui): mark specialist card lines as clickable selectable rows

* feat(tui): click specialist card to drill into subchat, Enter as keyboard fallback

* tui: clear selectedSpecialistID after Enter drill-in

Fixes Task 7 review issue: selectedSpecialistID persisted after
Enter drill-in, causing a subsequent Enter to re-drill into the
specialist's subchat instead of submitting the composer. Clear it
immediately after subchat.enter succeeds so the keyboard fallback
is one-shot per click; click re-sets it, so click->Enter still works.

* chore: gofmt model.go + test files

* chore: gitignore .superpowers/ and docs/superpowers/ — local skill artifacts

* fix(tui): remove Enter keyboard fallback for subchat drill-in — mouse click only

* fix(tui): reconcile specialist childSessionID from tool call ID to real session ID on completion

* feat(specialist): add Progress callback field to RunOptions and TaskRunOptions

* feat(specialist): stream child stdout line-by-line via Progress callback

* feat(agent): wire OnToolProgress callback for specialist child events

* feat(tui): show live tool-call progress in specialist cards

* fix(swarm): update RunChild mock signature for new progress callback param

* fix(tui): render plan panel inline in transcript, not pinned at top

* chore: gofmt model.go, specialist_card.go, specialist_click_test.go

* fix(tui): address PR review - plan panel without specialists, stream reader safety, resume dedup + payload keys

Anandan ac6addaa83 Align sandbox permission blocks and backend states (#253)
* Prompt for shell network permissions

Route network-risk shell calls through the existing permission prompt instead of hard-denying them at sandbox preflight. Approved network prompts apply the current turn/session request-permissions overlay so the effective sandbox policy is widened only after user approval.

Move network command detection into the shell AST analyzer for package installers, gh/git network subcommands, and python http.server so quoted process patterns such as pkill -f "python3 -m http.server 8000" are not misclassified as network activity.

* Auto-allow native-sandboxed shell commands

Remove the old hidden bash auto-allow environment/config path. Ordinary shell commands now use the active native sandbox as the permission boundary by default, while network, destructive, and workspace policy checks still run first.

Policy-only and disabled sandbox backends continue to require approval for shell commands, so unsandboxed execution is not silently allowed.

Convert recoverable outside-workspace file path violations into permission prompts instead of hard-denying in ask/auto modes.

Approved prompts now grant the requested filesystem scope through the existing request_permissions overlay for the current turn or session, so the follow-up sandbox evaluation and scoped file tools use the same policy path.

* Remove sandbox autonomy ceilings

Sandbox permission decisions now match grants by tool and scope only, without MaxAutonomy or request autonomy checks. Persistent/session grants, permission approvals, workspace-write auto-allow, and native-sandbox shell auto-allow no longer route through an autonomy ceiling.

Remove the sandbox.maxAutonomy config and CLI surfaces, including grant --auto, policy output, sandbox check autonomy input, and sandbox grant snapshots.

MCP permission autonomy is intentionally unchanged because it is a separate MCP permission model.

* Fail closed without native sandbox

Remove AllowPolicyOnlyRunner from sandbox policy and snapshots. A restricted/managed command plan now errors when native sandbox support is unavailable instead of running through a policy-only direct runner.

* Remove scoped shell network policy

Drop the domain-scoped shell network mode and the local scoped-egress proxy path from the active sandbox model.

Shell network policy now serializes and evaluates only deny or allow. Request-permissions network grants widen to allow without domain lists, and platform profiles consume the binary mode directly.

The Linux helper no longer accepts proxy-route flags, Windows network hashes only the binary mode, and web tool tests assert they remain separate from shell network policy.

KRATOS 03784268ac token efficiency: lossless cost accounting + minified file reads (read_minified_file) (#256)
* token efficiency: lossless cost accounting + minified file reads

Two complementary improvements to how Zero handles tokens.

ACCOUNTING — make cost measurement lossless and correct:
- Carry all five token dimensions end-to-end (input, cache-read, cache-write,
  output, reasoning) in one Usage; add CacheWriteTokens (cache creation), which
  the Anthropic adapter previously parsed then discarded.
- Price cache-writes at their premium rate (Anthropic 1.25x input, derived per
  model). Regression-safe: a model without the rate bills cache-write at the
  input rate exactly as before.
- Persist cache-read/cache-write/reasoning in EventUsage so `zero usage report`
  reconstructs the SAME cost as the live tracker instead of over-pricing
  cache-heavy sessions. A single EventUsagePayload writer is paired with the
  reader so the JSON keys can't drift.
- Add a live context-window gauge to the status bar (used/window + percent,
  graded green/amber/red) using the last request's input tokens.

REDUCTION — read_minified_file, a dense token-cheap file view:
- New internal/minify package + read_minified_file tool returning a comment-free,
  line-number-free view: Go via the real go/parser AST; C/Java/CSS/SCSS/LESS/
  Python via a string-aware comment lexer (handles strings, char literals,
  triple-quotes, Java text blocks, Python f-strings incl. 3.12 same-quote
  nesting). Every other language falls back to whitespace-only, so the stripper
  can never corrupt content.
- ~32% fewer tokens on a realistic multi-file read; +~102 fixed tokens for the
  tool schema, recovered many times over by a single subsystem read.

Tests: cache-write pricing + fallback, lossless persistence round-trip, the
context gauge, comment-stripping golden cases per language (comment-chars in
strings, Java text blocks, Python f-string nesting, CSS has no //), and the
unsupported-language safe fallback. gofmt / vet / build / -race all green.

* specialist: register read_minified_file in the tool registry + read-only sets

Smoke caught TestKnownToolNamesMatchCoreRegistry drifting once read_minified_file
joined the core read-only tools: the specialist tool allowlist (knownToolNames),
the read-only/edit/execute categories, and the read-only auto-approve set did not
list it. It is a read-only companion to read_file, so it belongs alongside
read_file in all of them; updated the default-allowlist test accordingly.

Anandan 2cf6fd2334 Add request permissions flow (#248)
* Add request permissions flow

Adds a runtime-handled request_permissions tool that can ask for turn or session filesystem/network grants and return the granted profile as structured JSON.

Temporary turn grants update the shared sandbox scope and effective policy, then clean up at run end; session grants persist in memory for the session.

Read grants now stay read-only through tool path resolution, policy evaluation, and native sandbox profile construction.

The TUI renders request_permissions with grant-specific choices, including strict review, and Esc continues without granting permissions.

Tested: GOCACHE=/tmp/zero-go-cache go test ./...

* Align request permission grants with prompts

Display and return the normalized grant roots that the sandbox actually applies, so file-like permission requests no longer show a narrower path than the directory root being granted.

Also makes the network prompt explicit about all outbound access and relabels the strict option as a model review request instead of implying enforced command review.

Tested: GOCACHE=/tmp/zero-go-cache go test ./...

KRATOS 995b9086c7 feat(subagent): proactive specialist delegation + swarm execution fixes (#243)
* feat(subagent): proactive specialist delegation + swarm execution fixes

Fixes:
- Task tool dropped the parent's permission mode, so every delegated
  sub-agent ran at --auto high regardless of the parent. Forward
  PermissionMode so a child never exceeds its parent's authority.
- Swarm members never executed: swarm_spawn accepts agent types
  teammate/subagent, but the launcher looked those up as specialist names
  (only worker/explorer/code-review exist), so every member failed with
  "specialist not found". Run each member from its swarm definition via an
  inline manifest on the executor.

Enhancements:
- Auto-delegation: the orchestrator system prompt now lists the available
  specialists and when to use each, nudging it to offload read-heavy work to
  a sub-agent so large tool output stays out of the main context.
- @-mention: a leading "@<specialist> <task>" in the TUI composer delegates
  to that specialist (transcript keeps the verbatim mention); the @ palette
  suggests specialists on the first token, file references mid-message.
- swarm.maxTeamSize config caps concurrent members per team (0 => default 8;
  negative rejected), honored in user and project config.
- Proactive spawning: read-only specialists (explorer/code-review) auto-
  approve via a new args-aware tool permission (tools.ArgsPermissioner), so
  the agent delegates exploration off a normal prompt without an approval
  prompt; write-capable specialists, resume, and unknown names still prompt.
  The exec gate registers specialist tools at medium/high autonomy so a
  non-trivial headless run can auto-delegate read-only too.

* fix(specialist): fail-safe child autonomy when PermissionMode is unset

specialistAutonomy mapped an empty PermissionMode to "--auto high" (unsafe),
silently re-introducing the privilege escalation the rest of this PR fixes: an
orchestrator that forgets to wire PermissionMode would get an unsafe child. The
Task tool and swarm both now propagate a resolved mode, so "" only occurs for a
caller that omitted it -- default that case to "low".

Only an explicit unsafe parent now yields --auto high; everything else (incl.
unset/unknown) is fail-safe low. Updates the stale "back-compat" comments and the
tests that documented the old behavior.

Addresses the non-blocking follow-up from PR review.

KRATOS efb6b79164 web_search robustness + chat UX: collapse, clipboard, scroll-pin, proactive search (#218)
* web_search: fix #209 follow-ups (tolerant score, render gate, redaction, FQDN)

Verified-and-fixed defects from a review of #209:
  - Tolerant score decode (lenientScore): a stringified/odd/null "score" no longer
    makes json.Unmarshal discard the entire response; it degrades to absent.
  - Score render gate rounds first (>= 0.01) so tiny positives and negatives no
    longer print a noisy "score 0.00".
  - Domain-filter error now goes through redactWebSearchText, matching the other
    error paths.
  - Trailing-dot FQDN symmetry: "react.dev." and "react.dev" normalize the same
    on both the allowlist and result sides.

Left as-is (intended, tested): scheme-less host:port allowlist entries. Includes
mixed-type domains-array tests.

* web_search: only register the built-in tool when a backend is configured

When no search backend is set (ZERO_WEBSEARCH_BASE_URL / ZERO_WEBSEARCH_BACKEND),
CoreNetworkTools no longer offers the built-in web_search. Previously it was always
registered, so a model with an MCP search tool (e.g. Exa) would burn several calls
+ high-risk permission prompts on the built-in tool — which can only return
"no backend configured" — before falling back to the working MCP tool.

Now: no backend -> only web_fetch (+ any MCP search tool) is offered, so the model
uses the MCP search directly. A configured backend behaves exactly as before.

Tests: registry/web_search/specialist tests that asserted web_search is always in
CoreTools now configure a backend; added a test that it is omitted when none is set.

(Pre-existing, unrelated: internal/cli doctor/exec tests fail in the sandbox on
origin/main too — network/provider-dependent, not touched here.)

* tui: copy selected transcript text to the native OS clipboard

Selecting transcript text auto-copies on mouse release, but the copy went only
through OSC52 (ansi.SetSystemClipboard), which macOS Terminal.app doesn't support
at all and iTerm2 / some Windows Terminal builds have off by default — so the
selection silently never reached the clipboard.

Copy via the native clipboard (pbcopy / clip.exe / xclip) first, which works on
local terminals regardless of OSC52, and fall back to OSC52 for remote/SSH
sessions where no local clipboard utility is reachable. atotto/clipboard was
already in the module graph (indirect); promoted to a direct import — no new
dependency.

Gates: gofmt/vet/build(host+linux+windows)/tui test -race/staticcheck all pass.

* tui: collapse long tool output by default with click-to-expand

Long, noisy tool output (web-search / MCP / read dumps) flooded the transcript.
Now a tool result whose output exceeds the live body cap renders collapsed by
default — head + a "▸ N lines — click to expand" footer — and you click the card
(while it is live) to expand (▾) / collapse. Mirrors the existing reasoning-row
collapse, so collapsed rows also flush to scrollback clean.

Scoped to avoid hiding what matters:
  - diff tools (edit_file / apply_patch / write_file) never collapse — their body
    must stay reviewable (matches the deeper flush cap intent);
  - the uncapped detailed transcript view (Ctrl+O, bodyCap==0) never collapses —
    it still shows full output;
  - short output (<= cardBodyMaxLines) stays inline as before.

Reuses transcriptRow.expanded + the row toggle (toggleReasoningRow generalized to
toggleTranscriptRow); the card head is a clickable toggle line. Running tool
cards (spinner) are unchanged.

Tests: collapse/expand, short-output inline, diff tools never collapse, toggle,
and the head exposes a click toggle; existing diff + detailed-view tests updated.
Gates: gofmt/vet/build(host+linux+windows)/tui -race/staticcheck all clean.

* cli: fall back to a usable saved provider instead of re-running onboarding

If the active provider lacked a credential (e.g. it relies on an env var that
isn't set, or an OAuth login that isn't stored), the TUI forced first-run
onboarding on every launch — even when other saved providers were fully
configured. Each onboarding then appended yet another provider.

Now, when the active provider isn't usable, fall back to the first usable saved
provider (prefer a remote keyed one over a local endpoint) for the session, and
skip onboarding. Onboarding only runs when no configured provider is usable — a
genuinely fresh setup. Saved logins persist; switch the active provider with
`zero provider use <name>`.

Tests: firstUsableProvider prefers remote keyed, falls back to local, accepts a
keyless local proxy, and reports none-usable. Gates: gofmt/vet/build
(host+linux+windows)/staticcheck clean; the only failing cli tests
(doctor/exec, network-dependent) are pre-existing on origin/main.

* tui: hold the scroll position while output streams in

The chat viewport scroll offset is measured from the bottom, so when the
transcript grew (a streaming turn) the window followed the new bottom and yanked
the user off whatever they had scrolled up to read.

syncChatScroll now pins the viewport: while the user is scrolled up, it bumps the
offset by however many lines the body grew, so the absolute view holds where they
are reading; at the bottom (offset 0) it follows the tail as before. Hooked into
the single Update funnel; only the scrolled-up path renders the body, so the
common (at-bottom) case stays cheap.

Tests: pins by the growth delta while scrolled up; resets/follows at the bottom.
Gates: gofmt/vet/build(host+linux+windows)/tui -race/staticcheck clean.

* agent: search the web proactively instead of answering "I don't know"

When a web search/fetch tool is available and the user asks about something
external the model is unsure of or that may be current (a product, library,
company, price, version, recent event), the system prompt now tells it to search
and read results before answering, rather than replying that it doesn't know
without checking. Addresses the model saying "I don't know about that" until the
user explicitly asked it to search.

Tests: prompt includes the new guidance ("search the web and read"). Existing
prompt assertions use Contains, so the addition is non-breaking.

* tui: show clean labels for MCP tool cards (mcp_exa_web_search_exa → web search)

* agent: sharpen web-search guidance (disambiguate, refine, scale)

Strengthen the search rule so the model searches before answering about an
external entity/product/library/model/version/release it doesn't recognize,
doesn't assume the most common meaning of an ambiguous name (disambiguates by the
conversation's domain), and refines + re-searches when results look off-topic —
rather than confidently answering the wrong interpretation (e.g. reading "Fable 5"
as a video game instead of an AI model). Also: don't web-search timeless facts or
workspace-answerable questions (use the file tools), keep queries short, and scale
the number of searches to the question.

Tests: prompt includes the new guidance ("search the web before answering",
"do not recognize"). Existing assertions use Contains, so non-breaking.

* test: gofmt setup_fallback_test.go (comment alignment)

* Address review feedback on web_search + chat UX

Resolve CodeRabbit review comments on this PR:

- firstUsableProvider: skip a profile whose CatalogID no longer resolves
  *and* that has no explicit BaseURL (no endpoint → unusable). A stale
  CatalogID with a BaseURL still works as a custom endpoint and is kept.
- providerProfileIsLocal: classify by parsed URL hostname (exact
  localhost / 127.0.0.1 / ::1) instead of substring matching, so hosts
  like "notlocalhost.com" are no longer misread as local.
- lenientScore: reject non-finite scores (ParseFloat accepts "NaN"/"Inf")
  so the documented score filter actually holds and the renderer never
  emits a non-finite value.
- syncChatScroll: shift the pinned from-bottom offset by the signed line
  delta so the view also holds when the body shrinks (card collapse,
  transcript clear), clamped at zero; previously only growth was handled.
- copyTranscriptSelectionCmd: report "Copy failed" when both the native
  clipboard and the OSC52 fallback fail, instead of claiming success;
  keep the selection so the user can retry.
- Drop vestigial ZERO_WEBSEARCH_BACKEND test env: the native backend was
  removed (MCP path), so the var is read by no product code and the
  references misrepresented it as a config knob.

Adds tests for the local-host parsing, the catalog/BaseURL skip, and the
non-finite score rejection.

  temporary failures; members run under the Swarm's base context so they
  outlive the spawn call.
- Tools: swarm_spawn, swarm_send, swarm_inbox, swarm_status, swarm_handoff,
  swarm_collect.
- Wiring: each member is launched through specialist.Executor and inherits the
  orchestrator's model + permission mode (never widened) and runs under the same
  sandbox/policy. Mailbox state lives under the workspace so writes fall within
  the sandbox write rules. Swarm lifetime is paired with the specialist runtime.

Scheduling (cron/wakeup) and daemon-pool-backed members are deferred follow-ups.

* swarm: address CodeRabbit review (7 findings)

- coordinator: SetStatus rejects unknown TaskStatus values (fail closed) so a
  task can never enter a state Summarize/lifecycle don't reason about.
- permission inheritance ENFORCED end-to-end (was resolved but discarded):
  thread PermissionMode through specialist.TaskRunOptions -> BuildArgs/
  BuildResumeArgs. A headless specialist child now runs "--auto high" (unsafe)
  ONLY when the parent is unsafe or no mode is given (preserves the Task tool's
  behavior); any other parent mode yields non-unsafe "--auto low", so a member
  never gains more authority than its orchestrator. Also fixed the swarm
  permission vocabulary to the real agent runtime modes (ask/spec-draft/auto/
  unsafe) instead of TUI display names, and the launcher substitutes "auto" for
  an empty mode so a member can't fall into the empty-means-high path.
- mailbox: symlink-aware confinement (EvalSymlinks) rejects an inbox dir that
  resolves outside BaseDir; dirs tightened to 0700 even if pre-existing with
  broad perms; lock release is ownership-token-aware so a stale-broken writer
  can't delete a newer writer's lock (split-brain).
- member: recover panics inside a member goroutine -> fails that member only,
  never crashes the orchestrator.
- tools: collapse() truncates on rune boundaries (no invalid UTF-8).

Tests added for every fix. Existing specialist behavior is unchanged (empty
PermissionMode keeps --auto high). Gates: gofmt/vet/build (host+linux)/test
-race/staticcheck(no new)/govulncheck(0)/deadcode(no new) all pass.

* swarm: address review round 2 (Windows lock + non-blocking notes)

Blocking (Vasanth): mailbox acquireLock now treats Windows ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED
/ ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION as lock-contended (retry/wait) instead of a fatal
error, via a platform-aware isLockContended (lock_windows.go / lock_other.go).
A contended lock under Windows file-sharing semantics no longer fails a
send/read spuriously. TestMailboxConcurrentSends raised to 200 goroutines with a
10s lock timeout and now asserts zero send failures (regression guard).

Non-blocking notes addressed:
- Removed third-party reference-project names from doc comments (clean-room +
  provider-neutral); the Go code is original.
- Documented the inbox-file size bound's ×2 (pretty-print overhead) constant.
- Documented Send's O(N) rewrite cost + when to switch to append-only.
- permissionRank: spec-draft now ranks below ask (it never widens authority).
- Documented watch's per-member-id retry binding (Member.ID == MemberSpec.ID).
- handoff Safety.Reason now also mentions the inbox write.

Gates: gofmt · vet · build (host+linux+windows) · test -race · staticcheck
(no new) · govulncheck (0) · deadcode (no new) all pass.

KRATOS 474f494b93 Deep-audit remediation + sandbox hardening (batches 1–35) (#189)
* audit batch 1: redact nested secrets fully; count image tokens in compaction estimate

- secrets.Redact: replace longest matches first so a containing PRIVATE KEY
  block is redacted before a nested shorter match corrupts its exact string
  (audit medium internal/secrets/scanner.go:81) + regression test.
- agent compaction estimateTokens: add a flat per-image token cost so an
  image-heavy context trends toward compaction instead of reading as ~0
  (audit medium internal/agent/compaction.go:58) + test.
- ledger: re-verify against current main; mark scanner.go:35 and
  redaction.go:362 already-fixed-on-main, record this batch's fixes.

* audit batch 2: worktrees defaultRunGit separates stdout/stderr

Capture git stdout and stderr into separate buffers instead of CombinedOutput,
so parsed rev-parse output is not polluted by git warnings and CommandResult.Stderr
carries the real error text (audit medium internal/worktrees/worktrees.go:247) + test.

* audit: re-verify all 87 pending findings against current main

Independent agent per file re-checked each open/partial finding against the
actual current code (the 06-11 ledger was verified on a since-diverged branch),
with an adversarial second pass on every already_fixed verdict. Authoritative
result: 78 genuinely pending (66 still_open + 12 partial); 9 rows were already
fixed on main and are reclassified. Full table in 2026-06-13-reverification.md.

* audit batch 3 (agent): cancellation identity, always-allow w/o sandbox, compaction usage, dedup

- loop.go: check ctx.Err() before collected.Error so a cancelled run returns
  context.Canceled (errors.Is holds) instead of a plain stringified error.
- loop.go: 'Always allow' with no sandbox engine now allows THIS call instead of
  denying it (persistence is skipped when there's nowhere to persist).
- loop.go: remove a duplicate schema["items"] assignment in propertyToRuntimeMap.
- compaction.go: forward OnUsage (token accounting) through the summarizer while
  still omitting OnText, so compaction's token cost is counted in usage/budgets.
- tests for all three behavioral fixes (each fails pre-fix).

* audit batch 4 (cli): list-tools -o json, interrupted -o json terminal, surface session-record failures

- exec --list-tools -o json now emits a JSON tool listing instead of falling
  through to the human-readable text (audit medium exec.go:182) + test.
- interrupted run with -o json now emits a terminal error+done on stdout instead
  of only printing to stderr, so a JSON consumer sees a clean end (medium exec.go:500) + test.
- execSessionRecorder: surface a latched session-append failure to stderr once at
  run end (deferred) instead of silently dropping it (medium exec_sessions.go:114/115) + test.
- left app.go trailing-arg ignore as-is: documented-intentional, TUI has no argv prompt.

* audit batch 5 (zerogit): status -z porcelain (renames + non-ASCII paths); document env-drop on plain Runner

- parseStatus: switch `git status` to `--porcelain -z` and parse the
  NUL-delimited form (audit medium zerogit.go:212). Previously the default
  --short output was split on newlines, so a rename `R old -> new` was kept as
  one bogus path and a non-ASCII/whitespace filename arrived C-quoted+escaped
  (e.g. `"caf\303\251.txt"`). The -z form never quotes paths and emits a
  rename/copy as `XY <dest>\0<src>`, so we now record the destination verbatim
  and consume the source field. + TestParseStatusZHandlesRenamesAndSpecialPaths.

- resolveRunners: document that the plain-Runner EnvRunner adapter intentionally
  drops env (audit low zerogit.go:417). The branch is reached only when a caller
  supplies a custom Runner without a RunGitEnv — in practice fake-Runner tests.
  Production leaves both nil and gets defaultRunGit/defaultRunGitEnv, which honor
  GIT_INDEX_FILE, so snapshot-diff isolation holds. Routing env calls to real git
  instead would break the fake-Runner test pattern and fix nothing in production.

- update Inspect/Commit mock tests to the -z status format and the new command.

* audit batch 6 (config): reject negative maxTurns; drop dead contract-gap helpers

- FileConfig.UnmarshalJSON now rejects a negative maxTurns instead of letting the
  `MaxTurns > 0` merge gates silently drop it and fall back to the default,
  hiding the misconfiguration (audit medium resolver.go:136). 0 is left as the
  "unset" sentinel (omitempty) and still falls back to the default; the CLI
  --max-turns flag continues to reject 0 too since there it is distinguishable
  from absent. + TestResolveRejectsNegativeMaxTurns / ...ZeroFallsBackToDefault.

- remove dead config/contracts.go (ContractGap, DefaultContractGaps,
  FindContractGapsByMilestone, ContractOwnerRuntime) and its test — referenced
  only by that test, never by production (audit low contracts.go:12).

- NOT changed: ResolveMCP intentionally does not run the provider command
  (TestResolveMCPDoesNotRunProviderCommand guards this), so the "ZERO_PROVIDER_COMMAND
  MCP servers dropped" row is by-design, not a defect.

* audit batch 7 (mcp): bound captured MCP server stderr

connectStdio attached a plain bytes.Buffer as cmd.Stderr that is only ever read
on initialize failure, yet it kept growing for the entire process lifetime as a
long-lived server logged to stderr (audit medium client.go:98). Replace it with
a concurrency-safe boundedBuffer capped at 64 KiB that keeps the head (enough for
init-error diagnostics) and discards the rest, reporting full write lengths so
os/exec never sees a short write. + TestBoundedBufferCapsRetainedBytes.

Left as-is (not defects worth the risk in the MCP client):
- client.go writer.write under client.mu: already designed to release the lock
  before the unbounded response wait; the residual concern is a server that stops
  draining stdin, an involved async rewrite for a theoretical deadlock.
- readLoop not answering server-initiated requests (ping): responding safely
  needs re-locking around the shared writer; no configured server relies on it.

* audit batch 8 (tools/providers): read_file truncation marker; drop dead provider branch

- read_file: when a max_lines cut occurs, append an explicit "[truncated: N more
  line(s)... set start_line=X to continue]" marker to the output. Previously only
  the Result.Truncated flag was set, which is invisible in the rendered text, so
  the model could not distinguish a cut read from a complete one (audit low
  read_file.go:89). + TestReadFileToolMarksTruncation.

- providers/factory: simplify `if !explicitProvider || isImplicitOpenAI(...)` to
  `if !explicitProvider` and delete the now-unused isImplicitOpenAI. The clause
  was dead: explicitProvider==true implies ProviderKind or Provider is set, but
  isImplicitOpenAI required both empty, so it could never contribute a case
  (audit low factory.go:118). Behavior-preserving; providers tests still green.

* audit batch 9 (sessions): Tree builds from a single List() snapshot (no N+1 disk scans)

Store.Tree recursed via ListChildren per node, and each ListChildren ran a full
store.List() that re-read every metadata.json from disk — O(nodes * total-sessions)
reads for one tree (audit medium lineage.go:140). Snapshot all sessions once, index
children by parent in memory, and recurse over that. Child ordering is factored into
sortChildSessions so ListChildren and Tree stay identical; path-scoped cycle
detection (delete(seen,...)) is preserved. Existing tree/lineage tests still pass.

Left as-is: store.go timestamp() second precision (RFC3339) — switching to
RFC3339Nano would break lexical UpdatedAt ordering against existing second-precision
records ("...00.5Z" sorts before "...00Z"), so it is not a safe one-line change.

* audit batch 10 (specialist): serialize accounting dedup-then-append

recordSpecialistStop and appendSpecialistUsageRollup checked for an existing event
(specialistEventExists → ReadEvents) and then appended under SEPARATE store locks,
so two concurrent finishers — a foreground onExit racing a TaskOutput poll, or a
background reaper — could both pass the dedup check and write duplicate stop/usage
events (audit medium accounting.go:72). Guard each check-then-append pair with a
package-level accountingMu (Executor is used by value, so a struct field would not
be shared). + TestRecordSpecialistStopDedupesUnderConcurrency (passes under -race).

* audit batch 11 (zeroruntime/gemini): O(1) text accumulation; gemini cached-token counts

- zeroruntime CollectStreamWithOptions accumulated assistant text with
  `collected.Text += event.Content`, reallocating the whole string on every chunk
  (O(n^2) over a long streamed response). Accumulate in a strings.Builder on the
  collector and materialize it once in flush, the single finalization point hit
  before every return (audit low helpers.go:104). Existing collect tests still pass.

- gemini decoded usageMetadata without cachedContentTokenCount, so a cached-prompt
  response reported zero cached input tokens while the other providers report them
  (audit medium gemini/types.go:88). Decode the field and thread it through
  streamState into NormalizeUsage as CachedInputTokens. + extended
  TestStreamCompletionEmitsTextUsageAndReasoningTokens.

* audit batch 12 (specialist): parse child stream without a line-length cap; drop dead helper

- ParseStream used a bufio.Scanner capped at 1 MiB, so one large stream-json line
  from a child (a big tool result or final answer) hit bufio.ErrTooLong and aborted
  the entire specialist run (audit medium streamer.go:43). Switch to a bufio.Reader
  with ReadString, which has no per-line limit; the child is our own trusted
  subprocess, so its output length is the legitimate bound. Line numbering and
  blank-line/EOF handling are preserved. + TestParseStreamHandlesLineLargerThan1MiB.

- remove dead formatTaskOutput (output_tool.go:244): zero callers and zero tests;
  it only forwarded to formatTaskOutputSummary, which is the one actually used.

* audit batch 13 (background/specialist): kill background tasks as a process group

Background children were launched in the parent's process group and terminated by
signalling only the single PID, so any process the task forked was orphaned and
outlived a cancel; the signal also risked hitting a recycled PID after the child
was reaped (audit medium process_posix.go:38/50).

- ConfigureChildProcessGroup (Setpgid on POSIX, no-op on Windows where taskkill /T
  already tree-kills) is applied at launch so the child leads its own group.
- terminateProcess now SIGTERM/SIGKILLs the negative PID (the whole group), with a
  pid>1 guard so a bogus 0/1 can never expand to "our own group" or "everything",
  and treats ESRCH as already-gone. Liveness polls the group. Targeting a group
  (rarely recycled vs. a bare PID) also shrinks the reaped-then-recycled window.
- specialist launchBackgroundProcess opts every child into its own group; on a
  SetPID failure it now kills the child + group, marks the task errored, and records
  the stop (deduped) instead of leaking an untracked orphan.
- tests launch as group leaders; new TestTerminateProcessKillsForkedChildren proves
  a forked grandchild dies with the group.

* audit batch 14 (sandbox): quote-aware shell segment splitting

splitShellSegments used a quote-unaware strings.Replacer, so a shell operator
inside quotes was treated as a separator: `git commit -m "use top | less"` split
into a `less` segment and `echo "a; vim b"` into a `vim` segment, both falsely
flagged as interactive (audit medium safe_command.go:138).

Replace it with a quote-aware scanner that mirrors the shell: single quotes make
everything literal; double quotes keep $(...)/`...` substitution active but treat
|, ;, && as literal; unquoted text splits on the same operator set as before
(;, |, ||, &&) plus substitution boundaries. Real unquoted operators still split,
so an interactive program behind a separator — or inside a live `"$(...)"`
substitution — is still caught (no new false negatives, the security-relevant
direction). + TestDetectInteractiveQuoteAwareSeparators covering both directions.

* audit batch 15 (cron): collapse DST fall-back repeated hour to one fire

On a fall-back day the clock repeats an hour (e.g. 01:30 EDT then 01:30 EST), so
Next("30 1 * * *", <01:30 EDT>) returned the same-day 01:30 EST — firing a daily
job twice (audit medium schedule.go:171, which previously guarded only the
spring-forward gap).

Next now skips a match whose local wall-clock minute equals `after`'s but whose
absolute time is later (the repeated-hour duplicate) and keeps searching. Normal
forward search always advances the wall-clock, so this only triggers on the
fall-back repeat; when the scheduler passes the last fire time as `after`, the
repeated hour collapses to a single fire. + TestNextDSTFallBackDoesNotRepeatHour
(spring-forward termination test still passes).

Note: Next is stateless, so it dedupes relative to `after`; a caller that passes
an arbitrary mid-hour "now" instead of the last fire time is out of scope here.

* audit batch 16 (mcp): skip SSE notifications before the response; larger SSE buffer

- decodeSSERPCMessage returned the first non-empty `message` event unconditionally,
  so a server-initiated notification/request arriving before the response made the
  caller see an id mismatch and fail (audit medium network_client.go:621). It now
  skips any message carrying a method (notifications/requests have one; a response
  does not) and returns the first real response; the caller's rpcIDMatches still
  validates the id. + TestDecodeSSERPCMessageSkipsNotifications.

- raise the per-event SSE scanner cap from 1 MiB to a bounded 8 MiB so a large but
  legitimate MCP message no longer hits bufio.ErrTooLong and fails the request
  (audit medium network_client.go:637); still bounded against an unbounded server.

Out of scope (kept): full reconnect of a persistent SSE stream after a fatal read
error — a larger change than this remediation.

* audit batch 17 (sessions): fsync session metadata before the atomic rename

writeMetadata wrote the temp file with os.WriteFile (no sync) and renamed it into
place, so a crash right after the rename could expose a metadata file whose bytes
were never flushed — a torn or empty file that corrupts the whole session (audit
medium store.go:632). Write+fsync the temp via a new writeFileSync helper before
renaming, closing that window. + TestWriteFileSyncRoundTrips.

Deliberately scoped:
- Event-log appends (appendEventLocked) are NOT fsynced per append: that would add
  a disk flush to every event (every tool call), and a hard-crash loss of the log's
  unsynced tail is acceptable, whereas torn METADATA is not. Metadata is the
  integrity-critical part and is what this syncs.
- Directory fsync is omitted for cross-platform simplicity (it errors on Windows);
  the file fsync already prevents the torn-contents failure, the serious case.

Left for follow-up (in this bucket but not safe/clear wins here):
- hooks append sequence still re-reads the file per append; the in-memory cache is
  cross-process-unsafe and the safe last-line read is fiddly for a low-volume log.
- Fork event re-append/de-dup is nuanced usage-accounting and needs its own change.

* audit batch 18 (agent): count tool-defs in compaction estimate; don't deny an always-allow on persist failure

- maybeCompact's estimate omitted the tool definitions, which ride on every
  request, so the real input could exceed the model limit while the message-only
  estimate stayed under threshold and compaction never fired (audit medium
  compaction.go:58). partitionTools is now computed before maybeCompact (it does
  not depend on the messages) and the exposed tools' estimated tokens are added to
  both the threshold check and the post-compaction shrink check. + estimateToolDefTokens
  and TestEstimateToolDefTokensCountsDefinitions.

- PermissionDecisionAlwaysAllow denied the call when persistPermissionGrant failed,
  overriding what the user explicitly allowed (audit medium loop.go:468). Persisting
  is now best-effort: a failure (or no sandbox engine) just means the grant is not
  remembered and the user is re-prompted next time, not denied now. This also drops
  the dead requestEvent.GrantMatched/Grant writes (audit low loop.go:473) — the
  emitted event derives them from the sandbox decision via buildPermissionEvent.

Left intentional (documented, not defects): the reactive-retry path omits OnText to
avoid duplicating mid-stream text (loop.go:183); OnContext/MeasureContext is a
complete, tested context-breakdown scaffold awaiting a consumer (types.go:183).

* audit batch 19 (usage): price escalated usage from the event's own model

exec persists payload["model"] on --allow-escalation runs (the model can change
mid-run), but BuildReport priced every event from the session's Metadata.ModelID
and never read the payload, so usage from an escalated model was mis-priced at the
base model (audit medium report.go:17). usageEventPayload now carries Model and
BuildReport prefers it, falling back to the session model when absent (older
events stay byte-identical and behave as before). + TestBuildReportPricesFromEventModelWhenPresent.

* audit batch 20 (sessions): don't copy usage events into a fork (no double-count)

Fork re-appended every parent event, including provider_usage, into the child, so
a usage report aggregating the parent and the fork double-counted the parent's
usage (audit medium store.go:387). Skip EventUsage when copying — it already
counted against the parent and is not part of the conversation history a fork
replays — and record the actual copied count in the fork marker. + TestStoreForkSkipsUsageEvents.

* audit batch 21 (cli/skills): warn on duplicate skill names instead of silently dropping

skills.Load deduplicates same-named skills (first directory wins) and records the
dropped collisions via skills.Duplicates, but nothing surfaced them, so a shadowed
skill just vanished with no signal — and Duplicates had no production caller (audit
low skills.go:91). `skills list` now reports each collision to stderr (keeping
stdout/--json clean), using Duplicates. + TestRunSkillsListWarnsOnDuplicateNames.

Note: skills.Get is kept — it is a by-name accessor used throughout the package's
tests, not dead code.

* audit batch 22 (cli/cron): capture the run error from stream-json stdout

Cron jobs run exec with --output-format stream-json, so a failure is reported as an
`error` event on STDOUT, but the run record's Error was set only from stderr — so a
failed job often recorded an empty/uninformative error while the real message sat
unread in outBuf (audit low cron_run.go:150). On a non-zero exit, scan the stdout
stream-json for the error event's message and prefer it, falling back to stderr.
+ extractStreamJSONError and TestExtractStreamJSONError.

* audit batch 23 (sandbox): richer macOS seatbelt profile (signal + mach-lookup)

The generated sandbox-exec profile was default-deny with only process/sysctl/file
allowances, so two real gaps remained on macOS (sandbox quality report H1):

- A sandboxed script could not signal the children it spawned — `kill` returned
  "Operation not permitted" under seatbelt, breaking common `cmd & ... kill`,
  test-runner, and timeout patterns. Add `(allow signal (target self) (target pgrp))`,
  which stays scoped to the command's own process group.
- XPC to system daemons was denied, so keychain (securityd/trustd), user/group
  lookup (opendirectoryd), preferences (cfprefsd), network config
  (SystemConfiguration), launch services, and the pasteboard all failed. Add a
  curated `(allow mach-lookup ...)` allowlist (`sandboxMachServices`).

Neither touches the file-write or network rules, so the workspace boundary is
unchanged — verified on a real macOS host: `security`/`scutil`/`pbpaste`/self-kill
now succeed while writes to $HOME and /etc are still denied. iokit-open was tried
and dropped as unnecessary. + unit assertions (TestSandboxExecProfileGrantsSignalAndMachLookup)
and extended the darwin integration test with a self-kill case and an
outside-workspace deny check.

* audit batch 24 (sandbox/tools): remove dead OnSandboxDecision hook

RunOptions.OnSandboxDecision had no setter anywhere, yet registry.RunWithOptions
spawned a goroutine (with panic recovery) for it on every sandboxed tool call —
pure per-call overhead for an unreachable callback (sandbox report M1). The sandbox
decision is already surfaced to observers via the permission event
(buildPermissionEvent reads the decision), so this hook is redundant; delete the
field and its call site.

* audit batch 25 (sandbox/cli): exact-path grants — create and revoke by path

The engine already matched ScopeFile grants and DeriveScope already produced them
from path/file tool args, but the CLI could neither create one explicitly nor
revoke a single one (sandbox report L3 / prompt 7). Add:

- GrantStore.RevokePath(tool, path): revokes only the grant whose scope matches the
  given file/dir, leaving tool-wide and other-path grants intact (path canonicalized
  to absolute like stored scopes). + TestGrantStoreRevokePathRemovesOnlyMatchingScope.
- `zero sandbox grants allow <tool> --path <p>`: persists an exact-file (ScopeFile)
  grant, path resolved to absolute so it matches lookups and revokes.
- `zero sandbox grants revoke <tool> --path <p>`: revokes just that grant (default
  still revokes all grants for the tool). + TestRunSandboxGrantsCreateAndRevokeByPath.

The TUI permission-card "Allow always (exact path)" option is intentionally left for
the TUI feature branches (it overlaps #187/#188); the engine + CLI now cover the
full create/match/revoke round-trip for file-scoped grants.

* audit batch 26 (sandbox): Engine.Precheck — report violations before execution

Add Engine.Precheck(ctx, request) []Violation, which reports the sandbox
violations that would block a tool request before it runs (sandbox report / prompt 6).
It reuses Evaluate so policy is not duplicated: an allowed or merely-prompted
request yields no violations; a denied request yields its violation (via the shared
violationsFromDecision helper, with a ViolationPolicyDenied fallback for a deny that
carries no structured violation). A nil engine yields nothing.
+ TestEnginePrecheckReportsViolationsBeforeExecution.

Wiring Precheck into the batch-confirmation prompt is intentionally left to the TUI
branch: it touches prompt rendering, and short-circuiting the agent loop's deny path
would skip the before/after-tool hooks that currently fire around a policy-denied
call. The engine API is in place for that consumer.

* audit batch 27 (sandbox): scoped-egress domain prompt with timeout + caching

The scoped-egress proxy failed closed on any host outside the allowlist. Add an
opt-in DomainPrompt callback (prompt 8): an UNKNOWN host (neither allowed nor
explicitly denied) is authorized at request time via the callback instead of being
refused outright. An explicitly denied host is still refused without prompting; the
callback is bounded by PromptTimeout (default 60s, timeout/error => deny); decisions
are cached for the proxy's lifetime so a host is prompted at most once. With no
callback set the strict fail-closed behavior is unchanged. Wired through both the
CONNECT and HTTP handlers via authorizeTarget.
+ TestEgressProxyAuthorizeDomainPrompt / ...TimeoutDenies / ...NilPromptFailsClosed.

The user-facing prompt that supplies the callback is left to the permission UI (TUI)
branch; the egress mechanism (callback + timeout + cache) is in place and tested.

* audit batch 28 (sandbox): AST-based shell analysis (AnalyzeCommand)

Add AnalyzeCommand(script) AnalysisResult, a static shell analyzer built on the
mvdan.cc/sh/v3 parser (prompt 12). Walking the parsed command tree makes it a more
precise second opinion than the regex detector: a program name only counts when it
is an actual command, so `echo "vim ..."`, `printf 'open with vim'`, and
`git commit -m "rm -rf /"` are clean, while real commands are flagged —
interactive (editors/pagers + REPLs, with the same -e/script suppression as
nonInteractiveREPLFlags), destructive (rm -rf/-fr, dd, mkfs, shred, ...), and
network (curl/wget/ssh/nc/...). An unparseable script yields TooComplex so callers
can treat it as higher-risk. + TestAnalyzeCommand (16 cases) / ...EmptyIsClean.

Dependency: mvdan.cc/sh/v3 pinned to v3.11.0 — compatible with the existing go 1.24
directive (the latest v3.13.1 would have bumped the module to go 1.25). It is kept
as a standalone analyzer for callers to consult; feeding it into Engine.Evaluate is
deliberately not done here, since that would change allow/deny classification.

* audit batch 29 (sandbox): unify proxy-env generation (ProxyEnv)

Export ProxyEnv as the single source of truth for proxy-env injection (prompt 9
req 1), replacing the unexported scopedProxyEnv used by the sandboxed-shell path.
+ TestProxyEnv.

Investigation that bounds the rest of prompt 9 (documented in the ProxyEnv doc):
- web_fetch already honors HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY — its transport clones
  http.DefaultTransport, whose Proxy is http.ProxyFromEnvironment.
- MCP children already inherit the parent env (mergeProcessEnv appends os.Environ),
  so they pick up any proxy vars the agent has.
So the only missing link to scope FetchUrl/MCP is a SESSION-level egress proxy whose
address reaches the agent process. That is deliberately NOT wired here: doing it
safely requires allowlisting the active LLM provider's own domain first, or the
agent's provider calls would route through the scoped proxy and be denied — a
correctness pitfall that also can't be verified end-to-end on this host. Flagged
rather than shipped blind.

* audit batch 30 (sandbox): Linux seccomp Unix-socket block — UNVERIFIED, needs Linux CI

Adds a pure-Go (no cgo, no vendored binary) seccomp BPF filter that denies
socket(AF_UNIX) with EPERM on x86-64/arm64, closing the Unix-socket gap bubblewrap's
filesystem/network isolation leaves open (prompt 11):

- internal/sandbox/seccomp.go: the classic-BPF program as a platform-neutral
  []sockFilter, built and UNIT-TESTED (structure + every jump offset in range — the
  classic way a hand-written BPF filter goes silently wrong).
- seccomp_linux.go: ApplyUnixSocketBlock installs it via prctl(NO_NEW_PRIVS) +
  prctl(SET_SECCOMP, MODE_FILTER). seccomp_other.go is a no-op everywhere else.
- cmd/zero-seccomp: a tiny linux-only exec wrapper that applies the filter then
  execs the real command (the standard way to install seccomp in a child with
  os/exec); degrades gracefully (warns + runs) if the kernel lacks seccomp.

⚠️ HONEST CAVEAT: I developed this on macOS and CANNOT run the actual AF_UNIX block
here. darwin build, `GOOS=linux` cross-compile, vet, and the structure test all pass,
but the unit test verifies the program's SHAPE, not that the kernel actually blocks
AF_UNIX — that MUST be verified on Linux CI (create a Unix socket under the wrapper
and assert EPERM). Safe to ship as-is: it is linux-only, no-op on every other
platform, and not wired into the bwrap command yet (opt-in prefixing the sandboxed
command with zero-seccomp is the remaining integration), so it cannot regress any

* audit batch 31 (sandbox): macOS denial log monitor (opt-in, default off)

Re-adds the macOS seatbelt-denial monitor as an opt-in feature (prompt 10). When
Policy.MonitorDenials is set, the sandbox-exec profile tags its default-deny with a
marker and bash tails `log stream` for that tag during the command, appending any
captured denials as a <sandbox_violations> block to the command's stderr so the
model can see what was blocked.

- DenialMonitor (darwin) tails/parses tagged denials with a capped, deduped ring
  buffer and noise filtering; no-op stub on other platforms. parseSandboxDenyLine is
  unit-tested. + profile-tag test + appendSandboxViolations test.
- Default OFF: with MonitorTag empty, StartDenialMonitor is a no-op and the command
  path is byte-for-byte unchanged, so there is no regression or per-command overhead
  unless enabled.

CAVEAT: on at least one macOS host (verified live) seatbelt denials are NOT delivered
to the `log stream`-queryable unified log, so the monitor captures nothing there. It
is the standard mechanism and works on macOS versions that do log denials; shipping
it default-off means it never affects whether a command runs.

* audit batch 32 (sandbox): wire seccomp Unix-socket block into bubblewrap (opt-in)

Completes prompt 11: the zero-seccomp helper (which installs the AF_UNIX seccomp
filter) is now actually invoked by the sandbox instead of only existing as a
standalone binary.

- bubblewrapCommandPlan, when Policy.BlockUnixSockets is set, ro-binds the
  discovered zero-seccomp helper into the sandbox at its host path and prefixes the
  command with it so the filter is installed before the real argv runs.
- findSeccompHelper discovers the helper next to the running executable first, then
  on PATH; it returns "" when absent, so the sandbox degrades gracefully (runs
  without the extra filter — bubblewrap's fs/net isolation still applies) rather
  than failing the command. Exposed as a package var so the wiring is unit-tested
  on any OS.
- Reachable from config: SandboxConfig.BlockUnixSockets and .MonitorDenials now map
  onto the policy in applyConfiguredSandboxPolicy (opt-in only — config can turn a
  hardening flag on, never off). Both default OFF.
- Tests: helper-prefix present when enabled / absent by default; config flags apply
  independently and stay off when omitted.

Default OFF and Linux-only effect; the runtime seccomp enforcement still needs a
Linux host/CI to exercise end-to-end (the wiring and BPF program are unit-tested).

* audit batch 33 (sandbox): enforce scoped/deny network policy in web_fetch & web_search

Completes prompt 9: the built-in network tools now honor the SAME allow/deny/scoped
policy the sandboxed shell egress proxy enforces, instead of bypassing it. Before
this, web_fetch/web_search would reach any public host even when the policy was
NetworkDeny or NetworkScoped — the egress proxy only constrained shell commands.

- New shared gate Engine.NetworkHostAllowed(host) reuses the egress domain matcher
  (domainAllowed/normalizeDomains/effectiveNetwork) as the single source of truth:
  allow → all hosts; deny → none; scoped → only AllowedDomains minus DeniedDomains
  (empty allowlist collapses to deny). Disabled policy / nil engine impose nothing.
- web_fetch is now sandbox-aware: the host is checked before the request AND on every
  redirect, so a denied/unlisted host fails closed before any dial. Plumbed via a
  networkPolicyGate so the no-sandbox path is byte-for-byte unchanged.
- web_search is sandbox-aware: the configured backend's endpoint host is checked
  before the query leaves the machine; blocked under deny, and under scoped unless the
  backend host is allowlisted.
- The registry already routes sandbox-aware tools through RunWithSandbox when an
  engine is present, so this activates automatically wherever the sandbox is wired.
- Tests: engine gate matrix (deny/allow/scoped/denylist/empty/disabled/nil + host:port);
  web_fetch & web_search block denied/unlisted hosts without dialing and allow listed
  ones; endpoint-host parsing.

* audit batch 34 (sandbox): prove network-policy wiring end-to-end + document opt-in flags

Verification follow-up to batches 31-33; no behaviour change.

- Adds a registry-level test that exercises the FULL chain for the scoped-network
  enforcement: registry.RunWithOptions -> engine.Evaluate (passes a scoped,
  egress-capable sandbox-exec backend) -> routes web_fetch through RunWithSandbox ->
  per-host allowlist blocks an unlisted host before any dial. This proves the
  Tool-interface value actually satisfies sandboxAwareTool at the registry boundary,
  not just in a direct method call.
- Documents the two opt-in hardening flags (sandbox.blockUnixSockets,
  sandbox.monitorDenials) and the scoped web_fetch/web_search behaviour in the README
  so the config keys are discoverable. Both remain off by default.

Confirmed wiring: agent loop forwards options.Sandbox to the registry; the registry
routes sandbox-aware tools (web_fetch, web_search) through RunWithSandbox when an
engine is present; MonitorTag is set only on the macOS sandbox-exec plan; the
seccomp helper prefix is added only on the bubblewrap plan when BlockUnixSockets is
set; both config flags map onto the policy via applyConfiguredSandboxPolicy.

* audit batch 35 (sessions): fix Windows CI failure in TestWriteFileSyncRoundTrips

The exact-permission assertion (perm == 0o600) added in batch 17 fails on
windows-latest because Windows does not honor Unix permission bits: Go reports
0o666 for a writable file regardless of the mode passed to OpenFile. This was the
sole cause of the failing Smoke (windows-latest) CI job; macOS and Ubuntu passed.

Guard the perm check with runtime.GOOS != "windows" so it still verifies the mode
on the platforms that enforce it, while the round-trip (write + read-back) is still
asserted on every platform.

* audit batch 36: address CodeRabbit review (5 findings)

- background/process_posix: after SIGKILL, poll until the process group is
  actually gone (SIGKILL is async) and return an error if it survives past a
  second deadline, instead of returning nil while descendants still race.
- sandbox/safe_command: only treat ')' as a substitution boundary when it closes
  an active $(...). A literal ')' (e.g. echo "a) less") no longer splits into a
  fake `less` segment and is no longer misflagged as interactive. Depth-tracked so
  nested $(...) still isolate their inner command. Direct splitShellSegments test
  (fails pre-fix: yields ["echo \"a", "less\""]).
- cron/schedule: the DST fall-back collapse now only applies when `after` sits
  exactly on the minute boundary (its "last fire time" form). With sub-minute
  precision (e.g. 01:30:30 EDT) the first 01:30 fire already passed, so the repeated
  01:30 EST is the legitimate next fire and is returned — restoring strictly-after
  semantics. New test fails pre-fix (skipped to next day).
- config/types: maxTurns error message now reads "must be >= 0" to match the check
  (0 is accepted; only < 0 is rejected). Negative-maxTurns test asserts the message.
- docs/audit: header date/branch metadata now matches the body (2026-06-13,
  fix/audit-batch) instead of the stale 2026-06-11/fix/audit-critical-high snapshot.

Verified: gofmt clean; go vet clean; host + linux + windows builds; affected suites
green. Each behavioural fix ships with a test confirmed to fail without the change.

* audit batch 37: address CodeRabbit re-review (12 findings)

Findings on the audit code from batches 21-36; each behavioural fix ships with a
regression test (several confirmed to fail without the change).

sandbox/analyzer (AnalyzeCommand):
- Unwrap launcher prefixes (sudo/env/nice/bash -c/...) and recurse into `sh -c`
  payloads so `sudo rm -rf`, `env curl …`, `bash -c 'vim x'` classify on the real
  command, not the launcher. Mirrors DetectInteractiveCommand.
- Honor rm's `--` end-of-options marker so `rm -- -rf` (delete a file named -rf) is
  not flagged destructive.

sandbox/engine: NetworkHostAllowed now shares one backend-aware effective-mode
helper with Evaluate, so scoped collapses to deny when the backend can't enforce
scoped egress — the per-tool gate can no longer permit traffic the engine-level
decision would fail closed.

sandbox/egress: cache domain-prompt decisions by host:port, not host, so one
"allow" can't authorize other ports on the same host.

sandbox/safe_command: the segment splitter is now escape-aware (\| , \" ) so an
escaped operator/quote can't manufacture a fake interactive segment.

sandbox/log_monitor (darwin): Wait() the `log stream` child after draining stdout
so the cancelled process isn't leaked as a zombie.

tools/web_search: confine the search backend to same-host redirects (with a limit)
so a redirect chain can't egress to a host the scoped/deny policy never authorized.

cli/sandbox: an explicit empty --path (`--path=` / `--path ""`) now fails closed
instead of silently widening an allow to tool-wide or a revoke to all-grants.

cli/skills: warn on stderr when duplicate-skill detection fails instead of
swallowing the error.

specialist/exec: don't mask a failed orphan-kill — join the TerminateProcess error
with the SetPID error so a surviving process is visible.

background/process_posix: resolve the PGID and only group-signal when pid leads its
own group; otherwise signal the individual PID. Avoids both a false-success on a
non-leader ESRCH and the hazard of signalling an unrelated (possibly our own) group.

Verified: gofmt + go vet clean; host + linux + windows builds; full go test ./...
green.

* audit batch 38: address CodeRabbit re-review round 2 (3 findings)

Follow-ups to batch 37, each with a regression test:

- safe_command (splitter): a ')' is now only a substitution boundary when it
  closes an active, UNQUOTED $(...). A quote-state stack saved at each '$(' lets a
  substitution run in a fresh quoting context and restores the outer quoting on
  its matching ')'. Fixes `echo $(printf "a) less")` splitting into a fake `less`
  segment, while still isolating the inner command of `echo "$(vim x)"`.

- egress: deduplicate in-flight domain prompts per host:port. Concurrent requests
  for the same unknown target now wait on the first prompt and reuse its cached
  decision instead of each firing a prompt (a prompt storm) and racing to write
  the final decision. Race-tested with 25 concurrent authorizers → one prompt.

- analyzer + safe_command: wrapper option-value consumption is now wrapper-specific
  (wrapperValueOptionsByProg) instead of a global option set. A valueless flag like
  `sudo -n` no longer swallows the real payload, so `sudo -n rm -rf` /
  `sudo -n curl …` are correctly classified destructive/network; `sudo -u root vim`
  still consumes its value. Shared by the AST analyzer and the regex detector so
  they can't diverge.

Verified: gofmt + go vet clean; host + linux + windows builds; go test ./... and
-race on sandbox/background all green.

* audit batch 39: address CodeRabbit re-review round 3 (12 findings)

All verified against current code; each behavioural fix has a regression test.

Security / correctness:
- tools/web_search: redirect policy now also refuses a scheme change, blocking a
  same-host https→http downgrade that would send the query + bearer token over
  plaintext.
- sandbox/safe_command: a ')' is only a substitution boundary when it closes an
  active UNQUOTED $(...), and backticks now get the same quote-state save/restore
  as $( — so `echo "`a | less`"` and `echo "$(true | less)"` no longer hide the
  inner pager from interactive detection.
- sandbox/analyzer + safe_command: wrapper option-value consumption stays
  wrapper-specific, and unwrapping no longer aborts on a dynamic ($x) wrapper arg
  once a wrapper is active, so `env "$opts" curl` / `sudo "$x" rm -rf` are still
  classified.
- sandbox/egress: in-flight prompts deduped per host:port (carried from batch 38);
  the prompt callback is now cancellable (context cancelled on timeout) so a stuck
  prompt can abort instead of leaking; signature threaded through.
- sandbox/runner: per-plan unique denial tag (pid+counter) so concurrent monitored
  sandbox-exec runs can't ingest each other's denials; helper selection now
  requires an executable regular file so a non-exec sibling degrades gracefully.
- mcp/network_client: aggregate SSE event-size cap (not just per-line) so a server
  can't grow memory with many unterminated data: lines.
- specialist/accounting: a previously-recorded stop/usage with an empty runId is a
  catch-all and now suppresses a later runId-bearing duplicate.
- sessions/lineage: Tree fetches the root via Get() first so a corrupt root
  surfaces its real error instead of degrading to "not found".

Docs/tests:
- background/terminate: docstring now states the leader-only group-kill (PID-only
  fallback for non-leaders); test child-liveness probe uses ESRCH specifically.
- cli/sandbox: grant usage strings include --path.

Verified: gofmt + go vet clean; host + linux + windows builds; go test ./... and
-race on sandbox/background all green.

* audit batch 40: address CodeRabbit re-review round 4 (8 fixed, 1 skipped)

Verified each against current code.

Fixed:
- sessions/lineage: PANIC FIX — store.Get returns (nil, nil) for a missing
  session, so the batch-39 root prefetch could nil-deref. Guard root == nil and
  return a not-found error. Regression test added (was a panic).
- agent/compaction: the reactive recover() now records lowWaterMark in the SAME
  combined (messages + tool-defs) token domain maybeCompact uses, so the proactive
  shrink-guard compares like with like. recover() takes tools; callers pass
  request.Tools.
- mcp/network_client: SSE aggregate counter no longer counts a joining newline for
  the first data line (only when prior content exists), avoiding premature rejects.
- sessions/store: fsync the parent directory after the metadata rename so the
  rename is durable across a crash (no-op on Windows, which can't fsync a dir).
- sandbox/egress: parse the target port with strconv.Atoi instead of
  net.LookupPort (no context-unaware resolver use).
- sandbox/runner: escape the per-plan denial tag through sandboxProfileString when
  embedding it in the seatbelt profile.
- sandbox/seccomp_linux: guard against an empty filter program before taking
  &kernelFilters[0] (defensive; the program is fixed non-empty today).
- cli/cron_run_test: assert last-error-wins with two error events.
- background/terminate, cli/sandbox usage, process_posix_test ESRCH (carried).

Skipped (with reason):
- zerogit worktree-rename (Y='R') test: git porcelain v1 -z only emits the
  rename-source field when the INDEX column is R/C; the worktree column never
  carries 'R' with a source field in v1, so the fixture would test output git
  doesn't produce, and making parseStatus consume on code[1]=='R' would risk
  mis-consuming the following entry for a plain ` R` status. Left as-is.

Verified: gofmt + go vet clean; host + linux + windows builds; go test ./... and
-race on sandbox/background all green.

* audit batch 41: address CodeRabbit re-review round 5 (4 findings)

All verified against current code; code fixes have regression tests.

- agent/compaction: summarizeWithFallback's reduce pass no longer swallows ALL
  errors. A context-limit error still falls back to the joined partial summaries
  (documented "extreme" case), but a non-context failure (auth/network/provider)
  now surfaces unchanged, per the function's contract. Two tests (propagate vs.
  joined-fallback); the propagate test fails without the fix.
- sandbox/safe_command + analyzer: wrapper value-consuming options now include the
  long spellings (sudo --user root, env --unset NAME, timeout --signal …), so a
  long flag's value is no longer mis-read as the program (interactive/destructive/
  network detection bypass). A `--flag=value` token carries its own value and never
  consumes the next token. Tests for space and = forms in both the AST analyzer and
  the regex detector.
- docs/audit: the status-ledger summary table's open/partial cells (64/14) were the
  lone outlier — the ledger's own narrative and 2026-06-13-reverification.md both
  state 66/12. Corrected to 66/12 (66+12+97 = 175); derivation: body 69 open + 18
  partial minus the 9 already-fixed-on-main (3 open + 6 partial) = 66/12 = 78
  pending, fixed 88+9 = 97. Added a comment documenting the summary-vs-body
  relationship. The reverification doc already states 66/12, so both now agree.

Verified: gofmt + go vet clean; host + linux + windows builds; full go test ./...
green.

* audit batch 42: address CodeRabbit re-review round 6 (1 fixed, 1 kept w/ proof)

CodeRabbit re-surfaced two "duplicate" refinements; CI was already green (its 6th
pass was a COMMENT with no new findings).

- cli/sandbox_test (TestRunSandboxGrantsRejectsEmptyPath): now seeds a tool-wide
  grant and asserts grant-store immutability after EACH rejected empty-`--path`
  call (reflect.DeepEqual before/after), so a mutation in one call can't be masked
  by a later one — and a buggy "revoke all" is actually observable (it's a no-op on
  an empty store). Stronger than the suggested patch.

- zerogit.parseStatus: KEPT consuming the rename source on the index column only
  (code[0]), with an explanatory comment. Verified empirically that git porcelain
  v1 -z reports a rename/copy (and emits the extra source field) only in the index
  column: `git mv` → "R  new\0old\0"; a worktree-only rename → " D old\0?? new\0"
  (delete + untracked, never "R" in code[1]). Consuming on code[1]=='R'/'C' would
  match no real git output and would only risk mis-consuming the next entry on
  malformed input, so the suggestion is declined as incorrect for v1.

Verified: gofmt + go vet clean; host + linux + windows builds; affected suites green.

KRATOS ae4ce8aae2 wedge build: web_search + LSP client/diagnostics (stages 01-03) (#175)
* stage 01: web_search tool

Adds a web_search tool alongside web_fetch: discovers URLs via a pluggable
searchBackend (env-configured generic JSON backend; swappable for Exa/You/
Tavily/Brave) and formats ranked results as a numbered list. Registered in
CoreNetworkTools().

Deviation from the stage spec: the spec said readOnlySafety, but the repo
enforces (TestCoreNetworkToolsExposePromptMetadata) that every core network
tool is prompt-gated network egress — so web_search matches web_fetch's
posture instead of being auto-allowed. Necessary fallout from adding the
tool: knownToolNames (+web_search), the network-tools metadata test (now
covers both), and a stale 'unknown tool' fixture that had used web_search.

* stage 02: LSP client foundation

New internal/lsp package: a direct (self-spawned, stdio) Language Server
Protocol client so unattended runs see real compiler diagnostics without an
open editor.
- client.go: JSON-RPC 2.0 with LSP Content-Length framing; concurrent
  Call/Notify, id-matched responses, server->client request auto-reply,
  notification handler, context cancellation, read-loop teardown.
- server.go: process lifecycle (spawn via os/exec, initialize/initialized
  handshake, graceful shutdown+exit with kill fallback). Handshake factored
  out (performInitialize) for pipe-based testing.
- registry.go: extension -> server command (.go/.ts/.tsx/.js/.jsx/.py/.rs),
  languageId map, PATH availability via exec.LookPath.
- types.go: minimal LSP types + PathToURI/URIToPath (Windows-drive aware).
Stdlib-only; tested over in-memory pipes with a stub server (no real gopls),
including -race for the concurrent id router.

* stage 03: LSP document sync + diagnostics

Makes the LSP client produce actionable signal so ZERO can ask 'did my edit
compile?' headlessly.
- documents.go: per-server session with document lifecycle (didOpen/didChange
  full-sync/didClose), a URI->diagnostics store fed by publishDiagnostics, and
  WaitForDiagnostics with a publish-baseline + 300ms quiet debounce (servers
  never signal 'analysis complete').
- diagnostics.go: FormatDiagnostics (path:line:col: severity: message, 1-based),
  HasErrors, FilterBySeverity, severity labels.
- manager.go: Manager — one lazily-started, reused server per language (keyed by
  binary), routes a file to the right server, Check(ctx,path,text) -> settled
  diagnostics, graceful Shutdown; unknown extension -> (nil,nil), not an error.
Concurrency-safe; tested under -race over in-memory pipes with a stub server
(no real gopls). FormatDiagnostics takes the path explicitly since a Diagnostic
carries only a range, not its document.

* wedge: address review on #175 (LSP robustness + web_search provider)

- lsp/client.go: Close() now disables the client — Call/Notify reject after
  close instead of leaking a pending entry / writing to a dead conn.
- lsp/documents.go: serialize same-document syncs through the Notify write via a
  per-URI lock and commit version/open only on success; drop delayed
  publishDiagnostics for a superseded (older positive) version;
  WaitForDiagnostics now reports whether a fresh publish arrived.
- lsp/manager.go: Check returns (nil,nil) when no publish newer than baseline
  arrives (don't return a stale prior result for new text); Shutdown joins and
  returns per-server shutdown errors instead of always reporting success.
- lsp/diagnostics.go: FormatDiagnostics collapses embedded whitespace so each
  diagnostic stays one physical line.
- tools/web_search.go: forward ZERO_WEBSEARCH_PROVIDER in the request so the
  config knob isn't inert.
Adds tests: close-disables-client, stale-version drop, multi-line message
collapse, Shutdown error propagation, httptest backend (provider+parse).

* wedge: degrade gracefully when an LSP server binary is missing (#175 review)

Manager.Check translated a missing-binary start error (exec.ErrNotFound)
into (nil,nil) so a configured extension on a machine without gopls/
pyright/rust-analyzer degrades exactly like an unsupported extension —
LSP diagnostics are an opportunistic layer, not a hard dependency. Other
start failures still surface. Adds a test injecting an exec.ErrNotFound
starter.

* wedge stage 04: self-correct loop (#176)

* stage 04: self-correct loop

After a successful mutating tool call, verify the changed files (LSP
diagnostics + project tests) and feed failures back to the model to fix —
bounded and autonomy-gated, so an unattended run fixes its own mistakes
without looping forever.

- internal/agent/selfcorrect.go: SelfCorrector with injectable diagnosticsChecker
  (lsp.Manager adapter) and projectVerifier (verify.DetectPlan+Run); AfterEdit
  produces a redacted, model-facing corrective message; per-run attempt ceiling;
  low autonomy reports without auto-attempting; medium/high auto-correct.
- internal/agent/loop.go: invoke AfterEdit after a successful mutating tool call
  (ChangedFiles non-empty), appending feedback to messages. nil SelfCorrect (the
  default) is a no-op — read-only tools never trigger it.
- internal/agent/types.go: add Options.SelfCorrect *SelfCorrector (the explicit
  options-struct change).

Single-pass verify per call (the agent loop + model edits provide the multi-
attempt cycle, not selfverify's same-command re-runs). Tested with fakes (no
gopls/shell): fail-then-pass, max-attempts abort, read-only skip, low-autonomy
report-only, LSP-only failure, secret redaction; -race clean.

CLI activation (a --self-correct flag building the SelfCorrector in exec.go) is
intentionally left out to honor this stage's file scope — the engine is exported
and ready to wire.

* wedge: propagate file-read error in self-correct LSP checker (#176 review)

CodeRabbit/golangci-lint (nilerr) flagged lspDiagnosticsChecker.Check returning
(nil, nil) after os.ReadFile fails. Propagate the error instead; the sole caller
(inspect) already skips files whose Check errors, so a deleted/unreadable file
still degrades quietly while future callers can decide. Adds a regression test.

* wedge: surface non-degradable verify errors in self-correct (#175 review)

SelfCorrector.inspect silently continued on every checker.Check error and
ignored verifier errors, so a real LSP startup/sync failure, an unreadable
changed file, or a failed plan detection produced report.Failed=false ->
OutcomePassed with no signal. Manager.Check already degrades missing servers to
(nil,nil) and DetectPlan returns an empty plan (not an error) when nothing is
detected, so a non-nil error from either is a genuine failure. Record such
errors in CorrectionReport.InspectErrors, fail the pass, and surface them in the
model feedback. Adds regression tests for both paths.

* wedge: drop third-party search-provider names from web_search comments

Keep code/comments provider-neutral: describe the backend interface as 'any
hosted search API' rather than naming specific services.

* wedge: defer self-correct feedback until after the tool-call batch (#175 review)

Self-correct feedback was appended as a user message inside the per-tool-call
loop, so a multi-tool-call turn whose first (mutating) call failed verification
produced: assistant tool_use batch -> tool_result 1 -> user feedback ->
tool_result 2. A user message interleaved between tool_results breaks strict
provider replay and later session replay/compaction.

Accumulate feedback during the batch and append it once after the loop (same
after-batch pattern already used for mid-run model escalation), so every
advertised tool call keeps its tool_result contiguous. Adds a two-tool-call
regression test asserting the feedback lands after both tool_results.

* wedge: batch self-correct AfterEdit once per turn over union of changes (#175 review)

Deferring only the feedback emission still ran SelfCorrect.AfterEdit once per
mutating tool call, which (a) consumes the per-run attempt budget multiple times
in a single turn and (b) verifies an intermediate edit that a later call in the
same batch already superseded — AfterEdit is documented as one per-run instance
holding attempt state, so this is a correctness issue, not just transcript shape.

Aggregate every mutating tool's ChangedFiles during the batch and call AfterEdit
once afterward over the deduped union, appending its feedback once (still after
all tool_results, preserving contiguity). Adds dedupeStrings and a regression
test asserting two writes in one turn consume exactly one attempt and emit one
feedback message.

363c0312d6 Skills & plugins: skill tool, skills loader, plugin manifests (#123)
* Skills & plugins: skill tool, skills loader, plugin manifests

Module of the runtime-core split (off main, after #119 tools merged). Clean extract — internal/skills is new; internal/plugins had no drift on main. No new deps.

- internal/skills: loads */SKILL.md frontmatter from the skills dir (resolves its own XDG dir); no YAML dependency.

- skill tool (internal/tools/skill.go), read-only, registered in CoreReadOnlyTools (so it's in the agent core + the MCP read-only default). Path-safe: it Load()s all skills and matches by exact name — it never builds a path from the model-supplied arg, so there is no traversal surface. knownToolNames gains "skill" for the specialist cross-package invariant; CoreReadOnlyTools count test bumped 4->5.

- internal/plugins: plugin manifest metadata enrichment (Author/License/Keywords/Interface). FORWARD code — the cli plugin-loading wiring lands later.

MCP hardening (nested-schema + hung-server fix) is a SEPARATE follow-up PR. build/vet/-race/full-suite + GOOS=windows build green.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <[email protected]>

* Address #123 review (CodeRabbit): pointer metadata, skill schema alias, dir fallback, List test

- plugins: Author/Interface are now *PluginAuthor/*PluginInterface so omitempty actually omits them — a non-pointer struct is never empty to encoding/json, so the old form emitted author:{}/interface:{} and changed the serialized shape of plugins that don't set them. parseAuthor/parseInterface return nil when all fields are empty; formatAuthor takes the pointer. (Major)

- skill: schema now declares the 'skill' alias alongside 'name' (and drops strict Required) so the alias survives schema validators that reject unknown keys (AdditionalProperties:false); Run still enforces exactly-one-of via aliasedStringArg. (Major)

- skills.DefaultDir: return "" instead of a relative ".local/share/..." path when neither XDG_DATA_HOME nor a resolvable HOME exists, so skills can't bind to the process CWD (load("") already no-ops). (Minor)

- skills_test: TestListReturnsNamesAndDescriptions now asserts List strips Content so a listing can't silently leak full skill bodies. (Minor)

build/vet/-race/full-suite + GOOS=windows build green.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <[email protected]>

* Address #123 review (@Vasanthdev2004): confine skill SKILL.md to the skills root

skill is a permission-allow read-only core/MCP tool, so the loader must not follow a symlinked SKILL.md (or skill dir) out of the skills root and become an arbitrary-file reader. load() now resolves the skills root via EvalSymlinks and, for each entry, resolves SKILL.md through symlinks and verifies the real path stays under the root (confineSkillPath); an escaping or unreadable path is skipped rather than read. Mirrors the grep/read_file confinement. Legit skills under a symlinked root (e.g. macOS /tmp) still load because the root is resolved too.

Regression: TestLoadSkipsSymlinkedSkillFileEscapingRoot (a SKILL.md symlinked to a secret outside the root is skipped, not read).

build/vet/-race/full-suite + GOOS=windows build green.

- skills: confineSkillPath now Lstats the resolved path and skips non-regular targets (directory/FIFO/device/socket). A FIFO/device named SKILL.md (or an in-root symlink to one) would otherwise make os.ReadFile block indefinitely — skill is a permission-allow tool over a user-controlled dir. Regression: TestLoadSkipsNonRegularSkillFile (unix-tagged; mkfifo SKILL.md, asserts Load skips it within a timeout rather than hanging). (Major)

- plugins: coerceMetaStringSlice trims each item once into a local var instead of calling strings.TrimSpace twice. (Nitpick)

build/vet/-race/full-suite + GOOS=windows build green.

* Add specialist lifecycle accounting

Record specialist start and stop events in parent sessions and roll child stream-json usage into one parent usage event.

Background TaskOutput performs the same roll-up idempotently for persisted completed tasks.

Tested: GOCACHE=/tmp/zero-go-cache go test ./internal/specialist

Tested: GOCACHE=/tmp/zero-go-cache go test ./...

Tested: git diff --check

* Harden npm wrapper smoke test on Windows

Clear inherited NODE_OPTIONS when executing the Node wrapper fixture and allow a longer Windows timeout for hosted-runner cold starts.

Tested: GOCACHE=/tmp/zero-go-cache go test ./internal/npmwrapper ./internal/specialist

Tested: GOCACHE=/tmp/zero-go-cache go test ./...

Tested: git diff --check

* Address specialist accounting review feedback

Normalize mixed usage event totals before roll-up, preserve started child exit codes on execution errors, and make accounting payload assertions fail loudly on missing or mistyped fields.
