fix: complete interactive autofix scans before cleanup

Repair can change files beyond the candidate's draft edits while the
manifest still verifies. Comparing the applied draft hashes against the
final manifest now demotes the result to ready_with_gaps, so SARIF and
other auto-apply consumers never offer a fix that omits verified
changes.

+### Prepare a fix
+
+Repair a saved source finding, run relevant customer unit tests and a new regression
+test, and independently review the patch with the OSS agents:
+
+```bash
+strix fix --repo ./repo --finding strix_runs/my-scan/vulnerabilities.json \
+  --finding-id vuln-0001 --output ./fix-result/result.json
+```
+
+The workflow runs in an isolated sandbox and leaves source edits in the generated
+patch. Results include the reviewer assessment, command history, and any remaining
+work. See the [fix preparation guide](docs/fix-preparation.md) for requirements,
+outputs, and automation.
+
 ### Headless Mode
 
 Run Strix programmatically without interactive UI using the `-n/--non-interactive` flag - perfect for servers and automated jobs. The CLI prints real-time vulnerability findings and the final report before exiting. Exits with non-zero code when vulnerabilities are found.

+# Fixing findings during a scan
+
+- The assessment investigates and validates an issue, then saves its vulnerability report.
+- Saving a confirmed, source-backed report automatically starts a Fix agent through the standard child spawner. No model handoff is required. Duplicate notifications reuse the current job; changed candidates invalidate it and start a replacement. Unconfirmed findings and explicit blockers are not eligible.
+- Each finding gets a Git worktree in the scan's existing sandbox. Fixes run concurrently; the original checkout remains available for assessment and attack chaining.
+- One native Strix child implements the complete fix, retains a regression test, runs it and relevant existing customer unit tests, and runs applicable build/lint/type checks. Before finishing it checks alternate paths to the same attack and affected legitimate callers. Broader suites need a reason; dismissing a relevant failure as pre-existing needs a comparison with the unchanged revision. Test selection and recovery belong to the agent.
+- The agent calls `agent_finish(success=True)` or `agent_finish(success=False)`. The controller enforces **300 total model turns per finding**, including resumed execution and candidate revisions. It does not start a fresh agent after exhaustion.
+- The finish tool checkpoints source before completing. Packaging errors return to the agent for correction; three identical completion errors stop the job with that reason. Untracked dependency/cache paths stay out of the patch; new source and tests stay in. Only a completed, nonempty patch becomes an artifact. Blocked, interrupted, or capped work produces no deliverable patch.
+- Assessment completion publishes the security report. Fixes may continue in the same sandbox; execution and sandbox cleanup finish after all Fix tasks stop. Scan cancellation and the shared model budget also stop fix work.
+- The open-source CLI enables automatic fixes by default for source scans. Use `--no-auto-fix` to disable Fix and verifier agents.
+- After final reconciliation, the CLI creates one local branch for each current approved fix. It does not change the active checkout or push a branch.
+- The final output and `run.json` list each prepared branch. Blocked, rejected, and superseded fixes do not create branches.
+- In the hosted app, successful fixes become available for **user-initiated draft PR creation** on the issue. Incomplete patches are not shown. Internal diagnostic logs and terminal status remain available to operators.
+
+## Implementation
+
+- `strix/tools/reporting/tool.py`: persists the finding and its confirmed/unconfirmed validation status.
+- `strix/report/state.py`: notifies the fix launcher only after persistence succeeds.
+- `strix/core/execution.py`: registers, runs, and completes Fix children through the normal child lifecycle.
+- `strix/fix/scan.py`: supplies the finding/worktree, deduplicates requests, preserves turn counts, exports completion, and cleans up. It replays persisted findings on resume. Terminal failures are reported truthfully; an explicit retry starts a fresh attempt using the remaining turn allowance.
+- `strix/runtime/agent_session.py`: borrows the scan sandbox with a worktree-specific filesystem root and process ownership. All scan agents get a process scope. Use `stop_process` or Ctrl-C on an owned tool session; broad shell kill commands are rejected. This prevents accidental interference, not hostile code escaping an OS security boundary.
+- `strix/agents/prompts/fix.jinja`: the single Fix assignment; shared workspace guidance is in `fix_workspace.jinja`.
+- `strix/fix/runtime.py`: uses `build_strix_agent`, `run_agent_loop`, native tools, persisted sessions, and usage hooks for repair and independent review.
+- `strix/fix/prepare.py`: checks source identity and the completed patch, then exports artifacts only after independent approval of the final source digest. Scan delivery also rechecks that the finding is still current.
+- Pro supplies progress/result callbacks. The app registers the inline attempt, stores successful artifacts privately, and creates draft PRs using its existing repository integration. Neither starts another fix sandbox.
+
+The result exposes the agent's limitations in both `completion.gaps` and top-level `gaps` for compatible readers. Ready results use `agent_review` and record the repair completion, independent review, command history, final file manifest, and approved source digest. Commands include diagnostic failures and superseded attempts; the Markdown result includes both repair and reviewer summaries.
+
+## Standalone OSS command
+
+`strix fix --finding findings.json --finding-id FINDING_ID --repo /path/to/repo`
+
+The standalone command uses the same repair and review workflow in its own sandbox, because no live scan exists to borrow. It preserves the supplied checkout and writes private outputs outside the repository by default. Only successful runs export a patch and archive. `--max-agent-turns` and the legacy `--max-repair-turns` can lower the repair turn cap; they cannot raise it above 300.
+
+Standalone fix requests default to `network_allowed=false`, enforced with Docker's `network_mode="none"`. Use `--allow-network` or explicitly set `network_allowed=true` in request JSON to use `STRIX_DOCKER_SANDBOX_NETWORK` (Docker's default network when unset). Offline sandboxes skip host-side proxy bootstrap and cannot reuse a session with a different network policy; unsupported backends reject offline requests. Fixes running inside a live scan inherit that scan's network policy.
+
+Uploaded archives and ambiguous multiple-repository findings cannot currently start an automatic worktree fix: the candidate must identify one Git source and its exact revision.

 - THREAT MODEL: before you start testing, call `get_threat_model` on the target you were pointed at — it is the scan's shared answer to who the attacker is, where the trust boundaries sit, and what counts as critical here. It is scoped to this scan and nothing carries over from an earlier run, so `found: false` means no agent on this run has derived one yet. Read it instead of re-deriving trust boundaries yourself; where your testing disproves it — a boundary it calls trusted turns out to be attacker-reachable, a role it did not know about, a host or endpoint it never listed — record that with `amend_threat_model` so the agents after you inherit the correction. Amending is not optional politeness: a model nobody corrects turns the first agent's guesses into everyone's assumptions.
 - Before filing any report, run the counterevidence pass: argue the strongest case AGAINST the finding, record what you found in the `counterevidence` field, set `confidence` honestly (a static-only trace you couldn't execute is at best `medium`), and state what evidence would change the severity. See the counterevidence and severity-calibration knowledge above.
 - A vulnerability is ONLY considered reported when a reporting agent uses create_vulnerability_report (or create_dependency_report for known-CVE dependency/supply-chain findings) with full details. Mentions in agent_finish, finish_scan, or generic messages are NOT sufficient
-- Reporting and fixing are ONE step, not two: when source is available, the reporting agent derives the concrete fix and files it INLINE via create_vulnerability_report (`code_locations` with `fix_before`/`fix_after` + `fix_pr_body`) — the report is not complete without it. Do NOT report first and then spawn a separate downstream agent to re-derive and re-apply the same patch; that just re-does the analysis and wastes tokens. (Do not silently patch a finding WITHOUT filing a report — the report, with its embedded fix, is the deliverable.)
+- When source is available, the reporting agent files an initial fix candidate with the report. The candidate uses `code_locations` with `fix_before` and `fix_after`, plus `fix_pr_body`.
+- Do not treat the candidate as a prepared fix. After a confirmed source-backed report is saved, the runtime starts a Fix child for implementation and testing. Do not create a separate repair child.
+- Do not silently patch a finding without filing a report.
 - DEDUPLICATION: The create_vulnerability_report tool uses LLM-based deduplication. If it rejects your report as a duplicate, DO NOT attempt to re-submit the same vulnerability. Accept the rejection and move on to testing other areas. The vulnerability has already been reported by another agent. If your evidence proves more than the finding it matched (a working exploit where that one had only a static trace, a chain that raises the impact), revise that finding with update_vulnerability_report using the duplicate_of id — never re-file it.
 - HTTP EVIDENCE: a finding you validated through the proxy is not fully filed until `http_exchange_ids` carries the proxy request ids of the exchanges that prove it — the request that triggers the vulnerability plus the baseline/control request it differs from (an unauthenticated success next to the authenticated one, the payload response next to the benign one). Copy the ids exactly as `list_requests`/`view_request` show them, never invent or guess one, and never omit the field to bypass validation. Leave it out only when there is no captured HTTP exchange at all (static-only code findings, dependency CVEs). If you filed before the proving exchanges existed, attach them afterwards with update_vulnerability_report. Without the ids, the finding ships as prose nobody can replay.
 - REVISING A FINDING: use update_vulnerability_report (report id + the fields you want to replace + update_reason) when you learn something a finding already on file does not carry — you built the PoC after filing it, a chain raised its impact, further testing weakened it, or its counterevidence/remediation/code locations were wrong. Editing a finding needs no duplicate verdict, and it is always better than filing a second report for the same issue. Read the finding first with get_report, and pass only the fields that change.

-
-            1. **Security closure** — re-trace the source → sink path
-               through the *patched* code and state why it is now
-               blocked. Re-run the PoC against the fix if you can.
-            2. **Bypass review** — re-read the diff *without* leaning on
-               the rationale that produced it. Name the sibling call
-               sites, equivalent sinks, and alternate malicious input
-               classes you checked, and try at least one.
-            3. **Preserved behavior** — name the legitimate inputs,
-               public APIs, and error semantics that must keep working,
-               and confirm the patch leaves them intact. A fix that
-               breaks the feature is not a fix.
-            4. **Repository checks** — run the narrowest relevant
-               syntax / type / lint / test check that covers the
-               changed lines.
-
-            Then write what you did: the commands you ran and their
-            results, and every gate you could only reason about rather
-            than execute, marked explicitly as a gap. Do not claim a
-            gate passed because it looks right. If a gate fails, revise
-            the patch or drop ``fix_after`` and leave the location
-            informational — never compensate for a failed security
-            closure with a smaller diff or extra prose.
-
-            Also use this field to record the narrowest-complete-change
-            judgement: prefer the smallest repository-native fix that
-            fully enforces the invariant, using existing helpers, with
