match: backdoor_persistence
reason: >-
False positive. The 'backdoor_persistence' YARA rule's $bashrc_persist
string matches any `echo ... >> ~/.bashrc`. Here it is the documented
remediation that appends `export PATH="/opt/rocm/bin:$PATH"` so ROCm
binaries land on PATH after install. Standard ROCm setup guidance, not a
persistence backdoor or payload.

match: backdoor_persistence
reason: >-
False positive. Same $bashrc_persist match: diagnose.py prints the
remediation command `echo 'export PATH=<bin>:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc` (or
~/.zshrc) for the user to add ROCm/HIP to PATH. No payload, no SSH key
injection, no hidden user.

match: Unvalidated Output Injection
reason: >-
False positive. The flag is on the generic `_run(cmd: list[str], ...)`
helper, which calls `subprocess.run(cmd, ..., shell defaults to False)`
with a list-form argv, so there is no shell interpolation. Every `cmd`
is a hardcoded argv list assembled in-script (e.g.
`["usermod","-a","-G","render,video",user]`, `["modprobe","amdgpu"]`);
the only dynamic pieces are the local username from `$USER`/`$LOGNAME`
and binary paths resolved via `shutil.which`. No LLM/model output ever
reaches this sink, so there is nothing to validate or sanitize.

match: Unvalidated Output Injection
reason: >-
False positive. Same generic `_run(cmd: list[str], ...)` helper as in
apply_fix.py: list-form `subprocess.run` with no shell=True. The read-only
probes only ever pass fixed argv lists (`["rocminfo"]`,
`["lspci","-nn","-D"]`, the PowerShell/CIM `Get-CimInstance` probes, the
framework binary from `shutil.which`). No model output flows into the

False positive. Line 493 is a code comment ("Resolve uid/gid to names via

owner uid/gid to names. The actual resolution uses the stdlib `pwd`/`grp`
modules (`pwd.getpwuid` / `grp.getgrgid`), not any read of /etc/passwd,
/etc/shadow, .env, or token files. No credential material is accessed.

# ROCm Doctor

Given a "ROCm / PyTorch / llama.cpp isn't working on my AMD GPU" complaint,
identify which **known misconfiguration** is the cause and either fix it (with
consent) or hand back the exact next step.

This skill does **not** probe or reason on its own. The `rocm` CLI owns the
probe, the closed failure-mode catalog, and the fixes; the skill just drives it
and relays the results. The catalog is a **closed list** — if the symptom
doesn't match a known mode, route the user upstream instead of guessing.

## Prerequisites

- **The `rocm` CLI.** This skill is only a driver over it; Phase 0 below installs
it with the user's consent if `rocm --version` fails. Nothing else here is
assumed — the CLI does the probing.
- **Platform:** native Linux (in-tree `amdgpu` module + `/dev/kfd`) or Windows
(HIP SDK). WSL2, NVIDIA/Intel/Apple GPUs, and clean-machine installs are out of
scope (see [Out of scope](#out-of-scope)).
- **No fixed ROCm version, GPU arch (`gfx…`), or container image is assumed** —
`rocm examine`/`diagnose` detect the installed ROCm, the GPU's `gfx` target, and
container context, and match fixes to what they find. Never hand-set
`HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION` (or similar footgun env vars) yourself; let the CLI
decide.

## Workflow

0. **Ensure the `rocm` CLI is present.** Everything below shells out to it, so
check first and install it if missing:

```
rocm --version
```

If that succeeds, skip to step 1. If it's not found, install it **with the
user's consent** (this fetches and runs an installer that drops the `rocm` and
`rocmd` binaries into `~/.local/bin`). Only nightly builds are published
today, so install from the `nightly` channel:

- **Linux / macOS:**
```
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ROCm/rocm-cli/main/install.sh | sh -s -- nightly
```
- **Windows (PowerShell):**
```
$env:ROCM_CLI_CHANNEL = "nightly"
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ROCm/rocm-cli/main/install.ps1 | iex
```

(Once rocm-cli cuts a stable release, drop the `nightly` channel — `sh` /
`iex` alone will pull the latest stable build.)

After install, confirm `~/.local/bin` is on `PATH` and re-run `rocm --version`.
If it still isn't available, hand the user the install page
(https://github.com/ROCm/rocm-cli) and stop.

1. **Diagnose.** Pass the user's error text as the symptom:

```
rocm diagnose --symptom "<paste the exact error>" --json
```

Read the JSON:
- `matched[]` — ranked causes, each with `id`, `title`, `score` (0–100),
`evidence[]`, and a `fix` (with `fix_id`, `summary`, `commands`, `verify`,
`notes`, and the `needs_sudo` / `needs_reboot` / `needs_relogin` /
`auto_applicable` flags). `score >= 75` = high confidence; `50–74` = likely
(confirm one more piece of evidence with the user first).
- `out_of_scope` — when set (e.g. WSL2), do **not** diagnose. First, if the
user's symptom clearly names an app that ships its own runtime (Lemonade,
Ollama, LM Studio), route them to that app's tracker (see
[Framework routing](#framework-routing)) — those trackers apply regardless
of platform. Otherwise relay the `out_of_scope` message and stop (see
[Out of scope](#out-of-scope)).
- `route_when_no_match` — when `matched` is empty, hand the user this
upstream tracker; **do not speculate**. Note the CLI picks this target from
the *host-detected* framework, not from the symptom text — so for an app
named only in the symptom, route it yourself per
[Framework routing](#framework-routing).

2. **Propose the fix.** Show the top match's `title`, `evidence`, plan, and
`verify` command. Only propose applying it when the user is on board.

3. **Apply with consent.** For an auto-applicable fix:

```
rocm fix <fix-id> # auto fixes: prompt before changing anything
rocm fix <fix-id> --dry-run # show the exact change, touch nothing
rocm fix <fix-id> --yes # required to apply in a non-interactive shell
```

Only the four auto-applicable fixes prompt and mutate. The other 11 are
**print-only** (bootloader, kernel, reinstall, Windows driver, …): `rocm fix
<id>` just prints the plan for the user to run themselves — no prompt, and the
CLI never performs those.

4. **Verify.** Have the user run the `verify` command from the diagnosis.

Use `rocm examine` (or `rocm examine --json`) when you only need the host state
(GPU, driver, ROCm install, groups, framework) without a diagnosis.

## Framework routing

`rocm diagnose` covers frameworks that build against the **system** ROCm/HIP:

- **PyTorch**, **llama.cpp** — in scope; diagnose normally.

Apps that ship their **own** ROCm runtime aren't diagnosed here — route the user
to the right tracker. (The CLI's `route_when_no_match` also targets these, but
only when the host probe *detects* that app; when the app is named only in the
symptom, do the routing yourself using the list below.)

- **Lemonade** → https://github.com/lemonade-sdk/lemonade/issues
- **Ollama** → https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues
- **LM Studio** → in-app support (no public repo)
- Anything else with no catalog match → ROCm core:
https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues (this is what `route_when_no_match`
returns by default).

## Out of scope

- **WSL2** — a distinct platform (`/dev/dxg` + the Windows host driver, not the
in-tree `amdgpu` module or `/dev/kfd`). `rocm examine`/`diagnose` detect it and
route out; relay that guidance and point at AMD's ROCm-on-WSL guide.
- **NVIDIA / Intel / Apple Silicon GPUs**, and **fresh installs on a clean
machine** (a setup task, not a diagnosis). Exit cleanly and say so.

## Rules

- Never invent a fix. If `rocm diagnose` returns no match, route upstream.
- Never run a mutating fix without the user's explicit OK; prefer `--dry-run`
first. New failure modes are added to the CLI catalog, not improvised here.

See [reference.md](reference.md) for the full closed catalog and the CLI
command/exit-code reference.

"""Behavioral tests for the `rocm-doctor` skill.

Run locally (needs the `claude` CLI authenticated; otherwise the suite skips):

cd eval/behavioral
python -m pytest -c pytest.ini -p conftest ../../skills/rocm-doctor/evals/evals.py

The skill is a thin driver over the `rocm` CLI, so a trigger run follows Phase 0
and shells out to `rocm --version` first (and, with consent, offers to install
the CLI -- these runs may touch the network). The suite is written to hold in a
GPU-less CI box on either Linux or Windows: the `rocm` CLI may be absent and
unable to install/run, so assertions rest on what the skill guarantees
regardless of environment -- it activates, probes for the CLI first (Phase 0),
and never mutates the system without consent -- rather than on a successful
diagnosis (which needs a real AMD GPU). Deterministic checks (`logs_contains`)
assert activation and the Phase 0 probe; `should` / `should_not` are graded by
an LLM judge and phrased to allow the skill's "CLI unavailable -> hand back the
install path" branch.

Trigger set: ROCm/HIP/PyTorch failure symptoms that should drive the CLI.
Non-trigger set: an NVIDIA problem (skill must bow out as out-of-scope) and an
unrelated coding task (skill must not engage at all).
