From 35ac3eb436d016645e279b1009203b60beeb3c69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Baldwin Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 23:47:14 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 001/222] feat(sqs): a DLQ peek can now say WHICH worker task failed MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Field feedback from a live incident, with a captured fixture. A worker env went Yellow on one dead-lettered message; EB's health text says "1 message in Dead Letter Queue" and stops. ebman could show that the DLQ had a message and not which task it was, so the diagnosis fell out of ebman into three raw `aws sqs` calls. The peek itself was already right — non-destructive, `visibility_timeout(5)`, never deletes, dedupes by id. It asked for SYSTEM attributes only, and `beanstalk.sqsd.*` are CUSTOM attributes: a different request field that the system set does not bring back. One line, and the whole diagnosis comes back inside the tool. Built against a real dead-lettered message rather than the API docs, which mattered three times: - `scheduled_time` is a preformatted human string with a trailing literal `UTC` ("2026-09-17 06:04:00 UTC") — not ISO-8601, not epoch. Every standard parser rejects it. The raw string is kept whatever happens, so a format change degrades to showing what EB actually sent rather than to showing nothing. - `Body` for a cron task is the fixed literal "elasticbeanstalk scheduled job". The DLQ list was spending its widest column on that same string for every row; it now shows the task name and path. - Exactly three attributes exist, all `String`. There is no retry count and no error in the message, so "why did it fail" is not answerable from here and the types do not pretend otherwise. Also fixed a defect the same feedback exposed: `recv:N` and "received N×" read as retry counts, and SQS's `ApproximateReceiveCount` counts EVERY receive — ebman's own peeks included. Measured climbing 2 to 4 on a live message purely from being looked at. An operator refreshing `:dlq` would watch it rise and conclude the task was still failing. Now `recv~N` and "received N× (incl. reads)". And `list_environments` / `ebman envs --json` gained `tier`, `updated` and `region` — all three already on the record and dropped on the way out. `tier` is why the incident's first report said the tool had identified a worker env when it had not; the reporter inferred it from the `-wk` suffix. `updated` is EB's `DateUpdated`, which for that incident read 06:04 — the platform update that caused it. Documented explicitly as NOT a health-since, because for an env that went Yellow on its own it would be actively misleading. Six mutations CAUGHT, including the one that mattered: without the request line every extraction test still passes and every message arrives with no task. --- docs/headless.md | 2 +- src/app/tests/dlq.rs | 2 + src/app/tests/support.rs | 1 + src/aws/sqs.rs | 232 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/cli/envs.rs | 98 ++++++++++++++++- src/mode_dlq.rs | 1 + src/ui/dlq.rs | 24 +++- src/ui/overlays.rs | 41 ++++++- 8 files changed, 396 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/headless.md b/docs/headless.md index 9d3e961..64d541e 100644 --- a/docs/headless.md +++ b/docs/headless.md @@ -175,7 +175,7 @@ v1 is **reads-only** by default — no tool dispatches a write unless the server | Tool | Returns | Notes | |---|---|---| -| `list_environments` | env list | same schema as `ebman envs --json` | +| `list_environments` | env list | same schema as `ebman envs --json`: `name`, `application`, `tier` (Web/Worker), `status`, `health`, `platform`, `cname`, `version_label`, `updated` (EB's `DateUpdated`, RFC3339 or null), `region` (or null). **`updated` is the environment's last change, NOT a health-since** — an env that went Yellow on its own still reports the last config change, so do not read it as when the health moved. | | `lint` | rule findings | EBL011 never fires here (no queue polling) and EBL016 doesn't run (no live HTTP probe) — stated in the tool description.

It had looked: the lint tool's EBL011 caveat says "queue depths aren't polled outside the TUI", which it read as a limitation and moved on from. The capability existed the whole time. That is not the agent's mistake. It can only see the tool list, so a TUI-only capability is indistinguishable from one ebman does not have, and concluding the gap is absolute is the correct inference from the available evidence. Two fixes, both from the reporter's own suggestions: `initialize` now carries an `instructions` block naming the capabilities this surface does not expose and where they live — queues, the `:why` bundle, the log tail. Short and specific on purpose: the tool CAVEATS are the most-read part of this surface precisely because they are not boilerplate, and a discoverability section that grows into prose gets skimmed like a licence. The EBL011 caveat now points forward rather than back. Same sentence, one clause added, naming where queue depth and the message peek live. The guard pins the CAPABILITIES rather than the prose, and fails in the direction that actually goes wrong: if a queue tool ever ships, the test fails because the block claiming queues are TUI-only has become a lie. Verified by pointing the check at a tool that does exist. Also filed the four field-driven items this feedback produced, with the evidence attached — including the drift one, where a remote-backend gap meant a Terraform change blanked JVM Options on a live worker and went unnoticed for months. --- BACKLOG.md | 36 +++++++++++++++++ docs/headless.md | 10 +++++ src/cli/mcp/mod.rs | 93 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- src/cli/mcp/tools.rs | 2 +- 4 files changed, 139 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/BACKLOG.md b/BACKLOG.md index 0ad0945..04df1c1 100644 --- a/BACKLOG.md +++ b/BACKLOG.md @@ -561,3 +561,39 @@ Populated by autonomous runs per `CLAUDE.md` stop-conditions.

A capability list without a version is the kind of documentation that is right when written and silently wrong afterwards. So the block now opens with the version and says plainly that it describes this build and to check before reporting something as missing. Pinned both ways: the version must appear in the text, and must agree with `serverInfo`.

An MCP user singled that line out as the reason they could trust the setup path, and asked that it survive as the surface grows. Nothing was stopping it becoming false. The existing tests pin the read/write variants and the JSON shape; none of them would notice a `curl … | sh` appearing next to them. A promise is worth what enforces it, and this one was enforced by nobody noticing. Pins the PROPERTY, not the sentence: rewording the prose stays fine, adding a fetcher, a pipe-to-shell or a URL does not — which is the direction it would actually drift, since "quick install" lines arrive as a convenience rather than as a decision. Both variants are checked, because `--allow-writes` renders a different body and a guard that only looked at the default would miss half the output.

It went and looked: Claude Code consumes the handshake and never passes server identity to the agent. The advice was wrong, and the thing that actually worked for them was cruder — running the binary's `--version` and comparing against Cargo.toml, which only works because the source happened to be on the same machine. That inverts the reasoning behind the version string. I had written it as belt-and-braces beside `serverInfo`, with a comment saying a client "need not surface that field" — a defensive hypothetical, which is exactly the shape of reasoning someone tidies away as redundant. It is not redundant: it is the only version signal an MCP client is GUARANTEED to see, because it is content the server authors rather than protocol metadata the client may drop. Recorded as evidence rather than supposition, with the general rule it implies for anything added to this surface: "the client can see X in the handshake" and "the agent can see X" are different claims, and the gap between them is invisible from the server side.

There was no reason. The capability had been there all along — `describe_worker_queues` returns both queue URLs, both depths and how the DLQ was found; `peek_messages` reads messages without deleting them; the TUI uses both. No decision to exclude them from MCP was ever recorded. Just absence, found by an agent on a live incident falling back to three raw `aws sqs` calls to learn which scheduled task had dead-lettered. Depth always, messages only on `peek`, defaulting OFF: a peek increments each returned message's `receive_count`, so the default path touches nothing. `peeked` comes back in the response because "we did not look" and "nothing there" are the same empty array otherwise, and they mean opposite things during triage. Annotated read-only, deliberately, with the counter effect stated loudly in the description instead. Marking a diagnostic read as a mutation would make clients prompt for it, which is the same mistake as flagging everything destructive — the argument already in `annotations.rs` for why `restart` is not destructive. `dlq_origin` is carried through: a derived URL that returns nothing is the ordinary case for an env with no dead-letter queue, while a queue EB REPORTED that returns nothing is a real anomaly. A consumer cannot tell those apart without it, and the TUI has distinguished them since 0.27. The EBL011 caveat now names `worker_queues` rather than stopping at "never fires here", so it points at something the agent can call. Two guards earned their keep. The staleness check written yesterday FIRED — the instructions block still said queues were TUI-only — which is precisely what pinning capabilities rather than prose is for; it now guards the narrower claim that dead-letter management stays in the TUI. And the golden tools-list frame caught the docs table going stale, then turned out to index `tools[1]` positionally and report a tool-ORDER change as a failure about lint's caveats. Now looked up by name. Three mutations CAUGHT: peek defaulting on, the `peeked` flag hardcoded, and `env` no longer required. --- BACKLOG.md | 10 --- docs/backlog/archive.md | 25 +++++++ docs/headless.md | 1 + src/cli/mcp/annotations.rs | 7 ++ src/cli/mcp/mod.rs | 142 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- src/cli/mcp/tools.rs | 138 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 6 files changed, 304 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) diff --git a/BACKLOG.md b/BACKLOG.md index 04df1c1..17a1ea4 100644 --- a/BACKLOG.md +++ b/BACKLOG.md @@ -562,16 +562,6 @@ Populated by autonomous runs per `CLAUDE.md` stop-conditions.

The existing CloudWatch code is a watermark TAIL — oldest-first from a `since`, which is correct for streaming forward and wrong for this. A point query needs the opposite, and the obvious implementation gets it backwards: `FilterLogEvents` returns matches oldest-first and truncates at `limit`, so "give me the last 50" hands back the FIRST 50 in the window. Applied to "is this task still running", that reads as "it stopped hours ago" for a task running fine — reported from the field as a repeated trap, and it is hard to notice because the output is plausible. So `fetch_latest_log_events` pages forward and keeps a rolling tail, and returns whether the window was fully consumed. `complete` is the load-bearing part and sits at the top level of the response, because it changes how the whole array reads: false means these are the OLDEST lines in the window, which is the opposite of what the tool is for. One incomplete group makes the whole answer incomplete — a consumer cannot act on "some of this is the oldest part". Groups are merged then trimmed once, since each was capped independently and the union would otherwise be ordered by group rather than by time. `keep_newest` is extracted rather than inline, and that is not cosmetic: the first version of its test re-implemented the discipline in the test body, and the suite stayed green with production popping from the wrong end — the "test a copy while production drifts" defect, caught by mutation.

A field report assembled exactly this by hand during a worker incident and confirmed a single call would have answered it. Deliberately NOT a narrative, and that was the reporter's argument rather than mine: adjacent facts let a reader be wrong in their own name, where a confident generated sentence does not. They had twice that week pattern-matched a plausible story onto facts they had not checked. So the tool puts things side by side and stops. Each section fails independently, and a failed one is `null` with its reason in `errors` — never an empty array. "We could not look" and "there is nothing there" are opposite conclusions during triage, and an empty array states the second while meaning the first. Five good sections and one recorded error is a far better answer than one error. `section_or_error` is extracted rather than left as a closure, because the closure needed AWS to reach: mutating it to return `[]` instead of `null`, and to swallow the error entirely, both left the whole suite green. Same for the shared `render_events_json`, now used by `recent_events` and `why` rather than copied — a second copy is how two surfaces start disagreeing about the same records. The discoverability guard fired for the third time, correctly: the instructions block still listed `:why` and point-in-time logs as TUI-only. What remains is dead-letter management and the LIVE tail.

What was missing was a way to set it ONCE, and any hint that the remote case was solvable at all. `terraform.state_path` in config.toml, resolved explicit → config → discovery. Discovery only ever finds a LOCAL file, so a fleet on HCP or S3 — which is most teams running this in anger — had no drift at all. That is not hypothetical: the reported incident is a Terraform change silently blanking `JVM Options` on one environment, a worker then running in UTC instead of Pacific for months, and ~37,000 rows of generated data corrupted. Drift would have caught it and could not run. Deliberately NOT an HCP integration. No backend client, no token, no new network surface, nothing for ebman to hold. `terraform state pull > state.json` is one command, works for every backend rather than the one we happened to implement, and leaves Terraform credentials where they already are. The error message was its own half of the bug: "pass --tfstate" is actionable if you have a file and useless if your state is remote, so a reader concludes the tool cannot do this. It now names the config key and the pull command, and says plainly that ebman reads state files rather than talking to backends. The empty-config-value case falls through to discovery rather than resolving to `""` and failing with "could not parse tfstate at ''". The docs-drift guard caught the undocumented key before I did.

Pointing `terraform.state_path` at a pulled `state.json` makes drift work on a remote backend — and then the file sits there ageing while the report keeps looking authoritative. A drift run against a six-day-old state says the fleet matches intent when intent has moved, and reads exactly like a run against current state. Same shape as a version string that is right when written and silently wrong afterwards, which is how it was spotted — by the reader who had just been caught by that one. So the report carries the state's `serial`, its `lineage`, and the file's mtime. ebman cannot tell whether that serial is the LATEST: it reads state files and does not talk to backends, and inventing a freshness check would mean becoming the thing this design deliberately is not. Naming what was compared is the honest maximum, and it leaves the judgement where the information is. `lineage` is the sharper of the two: a different lineage is a DIFFERENT state, not an older one — `terraform.state_path` pointing at the wrong workspace produces a confident report about the wrong fleet, which no serial would reveal. `pulled_at` is the file's mtime rather than anything Terraform wrote, and is null when there is no file rather than defaulting to now. For a human it is the more actionable of the three: "pulled six days ago" lands faster than a serial number. The operational reason this matters here: whoever pulls the state is a session in the IaC repo, not whoever runs drift — so the file is refreshed by someone else's workflow and its age is invisible at the point of use. Three mutations CAUGHT, including `pulled_at` defaulting to now when no file exists. --- docs/configuration.md | 6 ++ docs/headless.md | 2 +- src/app/tests/refresh.rs | 2 + src/cli/drift.rs | 9 ++- src/cli/mcp/mod.rs | 2 +- src/cli/mcp/tools.rs | 11 ++- src/terraform.rs | 165 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 7 files changed, 189 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/configuration.md b/docs/configuration.md index c27c6fe..f9d13b0 100644 --- a/docs/configuration.md +++ b/docs/configuration.md @@ -132,6 +132,12 @@ safety.accounts.prod.read_only = true # stay where they already are.

The pure logic — parsers, precedence, the tail discipline — was well covered and mutation-verified. The RENDERERS were not, and they are the JSON an agent actually consumes. Eight gaps, every one found by mutation and every one silent: - `render_alarms_json`, `render_instances_json`, `render_versions_json` had no test at all. Reachable only through `tool_why`'s AWS path, so dropping an alarm's state, an instance's causes, or the version cap left the whole suite green. - `render_recent_logs_json` rendered timestamps nothing checked. A log line without one cannot be correlated with anything, which is the only reason to fetch it. - `render_worker_queues_json`'s task and origin arms were unpinned. - The cross-group merge in `recent_logs` was untested in BOTH halves: without the sort the tail of the array is the last group's oldest lines rather than the fleet's newest — the wrong answer the tool exists to prevent, arriving by another route. Extracted as `merge_newest` so it is reachable. - Both drift call sites could pass `None` for the configured state path — restoring "a remote-backend fleet has no drift" — while `resolve_state_path`'s own tests kept passing. - The DLQ list and the `:why` overlay: the task name, the path, the raw scheduled time, and the `recv~` / "incl. reads" markers were all render-path changes with no render test. Reverting any of them was invisible. The pattern is one thing, at a layer I had not checked: I tested the DECISIONS and not the OUTPUT. Every gap sat behind a function reachable only with AWS, which is exactly where "there is a test for that" stops meaning anything. Sixteen mutations re-run after the fixes; all CAUGHT.

That was wrong, and checking rather than answering from memory found a real bug — in the exact class the tool was designed around. `tool_why` peeked the dead-letter queue with `peek_messages(...).unwrap_or_default()` and set `peeked = dlq_url.is_some()`. So a FAILED peek came back as `peeked: true, messages: []` — "we looked, the queue is clean" — for a queue we had been denied. Reading messages needs `sqs:ReceiveMessage`, a different permission from the attributes call that produced the depth, so "depth says 1, peek denied" is an ordinary IAM shape rather than a corner case. The result would have said the opposite of what happened, in the tool built to answer what dead-lettered. `peeked` and the `errors` array exist precisely to keep "could not look" apart from "nothing there" — and one `unwrap_or_default` at the single call site destroyed the distinction the type was carrying. That is the pattern CLAUDE.md names: after widening a type, grep for what flattens it again. `dlq_peek_outcome` now owns the decision: success looks, failure does not look AND records the reason, and no dead-letter queue at all is neither an error nor a look. Extracted so it is testable — the call site needs AWS, which is how it got there in the first place. Verified by reinstating the exact original expression and watching the test fail, not by mutating something adjacent to it. Swept the rest of the lineup for the same shape. The remaining `unwrap_or_default` / `.ok()` calls are on absent SDK string fields and on `pulled_at`, where "unknown" is the honest rendering and is already pinned as null. --- src/cli/mcp/mod.rs | 59 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/cli/mcp/tools.rs | 42 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 2 files changed, 97 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/cli/mcp/mod.rs b/src/cli/mcp/mod.rs index 8ed9fbf..cbee0a3 100644 --- a/src/cli/mcp/mod.rs +++ b/src/cli/mcp/mod.rs @@ -1588,4 +1588,63 @@ mod tests { "and the reason must be kept, not just the fact of failure" ); } + + /// A FAILED dead-letter peek must not report as an empty queue. + /// + /// Reading messages needs `sqs:ReceiveMessage`, a different + /// permission from the attributes call that produced the depth — so + /// "depth says 1, peek denied" is an ordinary IAM shape.

Now driven against a two-page mock that returns events oldest-first, as CloudWatch actually does: asking for 2 must yield the NEWEST 2, which is the entire reason the function exists. Plus the truncation case, where a rule in `MatchAny` mode serves an endless token so the page cap is genuinely hit and `complete` must come back false. Plus the filter pattern, via a mock that only matches when it is present. `peek_messages` had its extraction tested against a hand-built map and its request line pinned by a source guard, with nothing connecting the two. The mock now only answers when `MessageAttributeNames` is on the request, so one test covers both: ask for the attributes, and turn what comes back into a task. The negative case is there too — a message with no sqsd attributes must not become an empty task that renders as a blank "task:" line. Three mutations CAUGHT that were not before: the attribute request dropped, `complete` pinned true, and the filter pattern never applied. Filed what genuinely remains rather than implying it is done: the `tool_*` orchestration bodies. `Server` would need to take an injected client the way `App::for_tests` does — `with_config` is already the same shape for config.

A log line is free text, and ebman's redactor is namespace-and-key based: it knows `aws:elasticbeanstalk:application:environment` and `DBPassword`, not a token an application printed mid-sentence. So it cannot be applied here, and writing a log scrubber would be guessing at what a secret looks like. The honest fix is disclosure where it is acted on. The tool description now opens with NOT REDACTED and says why, and the safety page states the exception rather than leaving a careful sentence to be read broadly. Granting an agent this tool hands over whatever the application logged — that is a decision an operator should make knowingly. **The group fan-out was unbounded and sequential**, each group costing up to 20 paged calls. An env with many log groups walks past the 30s tool timeout and the client sees a dead tool rather than a partial answer. Capped at 8, like the drift and lint fan-outs, and the cap reports itself: dropped groups might hold the newest lines, which is the same instruction `complete: false` already carries. An explicitly-named `log_group` is never truncated — the caller chose it. Two mutations CAUGHT on the cap. Also verified what the injected-client seam is supposed to guarantee: `cargo build --release` compiles clean with all four `injected_client` sites `cfg(test)`-gated, so the test hook cannot reach a shipped binary. The `Arc` on the production path is free in context — every call already constructs a whole SDK client, so one allocation beside that is noise. --- docs/headless.md | 2 +- docs/safety-and-privacy.md | 2 +- src/cli/mcp/mod.rs | 9 ++++++ src/cli/mcp/tools.rs | 60 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 4 files changed, 69 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/headless.md b/docs/headless.md index 6749377..df6f7f8 100644 --- a/docs/headless.md +++ b/docs/headless.md @@ -196,7 +196,7 @@ v1 is **reads-only** by default — no tool dispatches a write unless the server |---|---|---| | `drift` (updated) | tf-vs-live comparison | resolves state as `tfstate_path` arg → `terraform.state_path` in config → discovery from cwd.

Every finding verified against the code before acting. **`worker_queues --peek` hard-errored on the ordinary no-DLQ case.** `describe_worker_queues` treats NonExistentQueue on a DERIVED url as THE "this env has no dead-letter queue" shape — it swallows the error and leaves `dlq_stats: None` with `dlq_url: Some`. The peek path had no such tolerance: peeking that url raised it again and the `?` failed the WHOLE tool call, discarding the depth answer already in hand, on the case the tool's own description calls ordinary. Gated on `dlq_stats` now, in both `worker_queues` and `why` — in `why` it was quieter and worse, recording a spurious "we could not look" in `errors` for every healthy worker env whose DLQ guess missed, which is noise in the array that exists to make partial answers load-bearing. `peeked` also reported the REQUEST rather than reality: `peek: true` with no dead-letter queue rendered `peeked: true, messages: []` — "we looked, it was empty" for a queue that does not exist. `why` already answered the same situation with `false`. Two tools, one field, opposite answers. **`uflexi` — a real client name — was reintroduced one release after 0.38.0 scrubbed placeholders.** Absent at every prior tag, added by me this cycle in test fixtures and a user-facing config example. crates.io is permanent. Renamed to the `poly-*` convention 0.38.0 established. **The documented config example did not work.** `terraform.state_path = "~/.config/ebman/poly.tfstate"` was passed to the filesystem verbatim, so following the docs exits 2 with "could not read or parse tfstate at ~/…". `expand_tilde` existed and was not called. **An explicit `--tfdir` lost to the config default.** `--tfdir` feeds discovery, which now sits below `terraform.state_path`, so with a global state path set, `drift --tfdir ~/git/fleetB` compared fleetB's live environments against fleetA's intent. Where both accounts have an `api-prod` that is a confident report about the wrong fleet — the wrong-workspace failure `lineage` exposes after the fact, prevented up front. A flag must never lose to a config default. Docs: message BODIES from `worker_queues --peek` and `why` are returned verbatim and were undisclosed — `why` peeks automatically, up to five messages, with no opt-in, so an agent asking for a triage bundle gets raw queue payloads. The safety page and both tool descriptions now say so, alongside the `recent_logs` disclosure I wrote and failed to generalise one function over. Also: prose said `dlq_origin` where the JSON emits `dead_letter_queue.origin`; headless.md had two `drift` rows; `list_environments`' description still listed the old seven fields. Six mutations CAUGHT across the fixes. --- CHANGELOG.md | 4 +- docs/commands.md | 2 +- docs/configuration.md | 4 +- docs/headless.md | 5 +- docs/safety-and-privacy.md | 2 +- src/cli/drift.rs | 38 +++++++++++++ src/cli/envs.rs | 8 +-- src/cli/mcp/mod.rs | 109 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- src/cli/mcp/tools.rs | 36 ++++++++++-- src/terraform.rs | 39 ++++++++++++- 10 files changed, 222 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index ecc0a8a..57bf31a 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -12,8 +12,8 @@ The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/), environment, and with `peek` the dead-lettered messages including which scheduled task they came from (`beanstalk.sqsd.task_name` / `path` / `scheduled_time`).

Every other stats failure errors out of that function before the gate is consulted, so no live queue can be silently un-peeked. Then it found the gap in my own fix pass: I applied the gate to `tool_why` as well and never tested it. Mutating it away came back green. That is the body the injected-client seam was built for, so an untested fix there is precisely the hole the seam exists to close — now pinned, and the fan-out needed rules for events, instances and versions because the mock hard-fails on an unmatched call rather than erroring the section. Also took the `state:null` finding: the no-tfstate `--json` output was a hand-written literal predating the `state` block, so it omitted it while every other drift response carries it.

An agent reading only descriptions would give an operator the wrong advice. **The derived-DLQ peek fix had no CHANGELOG entry**, while the two sibling fixes to unreleased features did. Added, including the part that is user-visible rather than internal: `peeked` now reports whether ebman looked rather than what was asked, and `worker_queues` and `why` previously answered that differently for the same environment.

021/222] Release 0.39.0: the agent surface grows four tools MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit A worker environment went Yellow on one dead-lettered message. EB's health text says "1 message in Dead Letter Queue" and stops, so diagnosing it took three raw `aws sqs` calls — while the TUI had had a non-destructive dead-letter peek all along. The agent could not find it, and was right not to: an MCP client sees only the tool list, so a capability ebman has and does not expose is indistinguishable from one it lacks. - `worker_queues` — queue depth, and with `peek` which scheduled task dead-lettered. Built against a real dead-lettered message rather than the API docs, which changed three decisions: EB's `scheduled_time` is a preformatted string no standard parser accepts, a cron task's body is a fixed literal carrying nothing, and there is no retry count in the message at all. - `why` — the TUI's triage bundle in one call. Deliberately not a narrative: adjacent facts let a reader be wrong in their own name. - `recent_logs` — the NEWEST lines, and whether it reached them. `FilterLogEvents` returns matches oldest-first, so the obvious implementation answers "is this still running?" with evidence from hours ago, plausibly enough to be acted on. - `terraform.state_path` — drift on a fleet whose state is in a remote backend, which previously had none. Not an HCP client: `terraform state pull` is one command and works for every backend. And `initialize` now names the build version and what this surface does not expose, so the next gap is discoverable rather than invisible. Reviewed twice by two independent agents. The first round returned two DO-NOT-SHIP verdicts and found, among other things, that a peek against a derived dead-letter queue that does not exist failed the whole call — on the case the tool's own description calls ordinary. The second round verified those fixes and found the half of one I had applied without testing. Everything raised is fixed here or filed with its reasoning. Cut on the aws-sdk group merged first (16 crates, all minor within 1.x): these four tools are new SDK call paths, and shipping them against a two-week-stale lockfile means a difference surfaces in production rather than in CI. semver-checks against published 0.38.0 as a patch: 223 checks, 223 pass, no API breaks to enumerate. --- CHANGELOG.md | 14 +++++++++++++- Cargo.lock | 2 +- Cargo.toml | 2 +- server.json | 4 ++-- 4 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 9a0e788..fa298d4 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -6,6 +6,16 @@ The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/), ## [Unreleased] +## [0.39.0] — 2026-09-18 + +**An agent-surface release.** A worker environment went Yellow on one +dead-lettered message, and diagnosing it took three raw `aws sqs` calls +because ebman could say the queue had a message but not which task it +was — while the TUI had had a dead-letter peek all along.

They pushed back on exactly that — consistency is not confirmation, and they declined to re-check it because the only way to verify from their side is a receive that increments the counter and hides the message they are preserving as a fixture. The sharper version was already in my own code. `src/aws/sqs.rs:180` requests `All` attributes rather than the three known names specifically so "a task posted by an application rather than by sqsd cron is not silently truncated" — I designed the request around app-posted tasks differing, then filed a design note assuming they do not. What holds is structural: `task` and `body` are separate fields, so suppressing one does not suppress the other. What does not hold is the inference built on top — that the body is uninformative. If an app-posted task carries its identity in the body, a default of `false` silently costs the operator the answer and they cannot tell what they are missing, which is the same absence-reads-as-an-answer shape as a stale binary looking like a missing feature.

Inverting that flag makes `--quiet` print and a normal run go silent, and nothing caught it. `quiet` was asserted at the argument-parsing level — `assert!(p.json && p.quiet)` — and nowhere at the behaviour. That is the difference between "the flag was read" and "the flag did anything", and it is the same shape as a guard whose assertion the broken state also satisfies. Reachable from `tests/cli.rs` without credentials, because the no-tfstate path returns before any AWS client is built: point `--tfdir` at an empty directory and the run exits with the hint. Two cases — without `--quiet` the hint prints AND names the `terraform state pull` workflow (the old message stopped at "pass --tfstate", useless if your state is in HCP), with `--quiet` both streams are empty. Plus the `--json` no-state shape end to end, which was a hand-written literal until 0.39.0 and omitted the `state` block every other drift response carries.

I closed the gap for `cargo test` and not for the harness that found it, then said it was closed. `no_state_output(quiet, json) -> NoState` is the decision as a value, so a lib test reaches it and the gate sees it. Verified under `--lib` only: the exact mutant CI reported is now CAUGHT, as is inverting the json/quiet precedence. The integration tests stay — they are the better test of what an operator sees; they were just the wrong place to close a hole that a `--lib` harness reported. **A `--tfdir` that does not resolve fell back to the current directory.** So `drift --tfdir /no/such/dir` run from a directory holding a `terraform.tfstate` reported confidently on whatever fleet THAT state describes — a wrong-fleet report reached by a typo, which is exactly what `lineage` exposes after the fact and this prevents up front. It also carried the same cannot-walk-up `"."` shape just removed from the MCP path. Now exits 2 naming the flag, and the no-tfdir case starts from the absolute cwd. Also strengthened a test the review called out: `drift_json_with_no_state` claimed "well-formed" while only substring-matching three keys, which a malformed document containing them would satisfy. It parses now, and asserts exit 0. `quiet` winning over `json` is deliberate and stated: an operator who asked for silence gets it. --- src/cli/drift.rs | 135 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- tests/cli.rs | 39 ++++++++++++-- 2 files changed, 143 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/cli/drift.rs b/src/cli/drift.rs index 79a1d11..5ef4d9a 100644 --- a/src/cli/drift.rs +++ b/src/cli/drift.rs @@ -103,6 +103,40 @@ fn parse_drift_args(args: &[String]) -> Result { }) } +/// What the no-tfstate path emits. +/// +/// Extracted as a value because the harness that found the gap cannot +/// see the alternative. `cargo mutants` runs `-- --lib`, so a +/// behavioural test in `tests/cli.rs` does not compile there: the +/// `delete !` mutant on `if !quiet` was reported MISSED, covered by an +/// integration test, and reported MISSED again.

The server keeps answering from the old build, and nothing tells the client: `initialize` carries the version, but the handshake already happened. A reader spent two days reporting capability gaps against a three-week-old binary for exactly this reason. Every tool response is now prefixed when the on-disk binary is a different file, naming the running version, the path, and what to do about it. An agent cannot act on "you are stale"; it can act on "reconnect". Built on a mechanism verified before it was designed around: replacing a file changes its inode while `current_exe()` still resolves the path. Unknown on either side is never reported as stale — a server crying staleness whenever it cannot stat itself is noise, and noise is how a real warning gets ignored. This also settles an interaction in the reload-in-place request that came with it. Re-exec cannot refresh the cached `instructions` block, because `initialize` runs once per connection — so a reloaded server would BE 0.40.0 while its instructions still said 0.39.0, making the version string we added for self-checking actively wrong. Today a stale server is truthfully old. Detection is what keeps reload honest, which is why it goes first rather than alongside. Prepended at the single response-assembly point, so no tool can forget it. The wiring is tested by pointing the check at a file the test replaces — the pure halves passing says nothing about whether the notice reaches a response, which is the gap this session has hit four times. Three mutations CAUGHT, including "unknown reported as stale". --- CHANGELOG.md | 15 +++ docs/headless.md | 8 ++ src/cli/mcp/mod.rs | 231 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 254 insertions(+) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index fa298d4..671f5eb 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -6,6 +6,21 @@ The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/), ## [Unreleased] +### Added + +- **`ebman mcp serve` notices when its own binary is replaced.** A + `brew upgrade` swaps the file underneath a running server, which then + keeps answering from the old build with nothing to tell a client — and + `initialize` cannot help, because the handshake already happened.

Signed-off-by: dependabot[bot] * fix(tests): adapt the key-arm rule to syn 3, and give it a canary `syn` 3 removed `Arm::guard`. A guarded arm is now `Pat::Guard { pat, guard }` — the guard moved from the ARM to the PATTERN, following Rust's guard-patterns RFC — so four CI jobs failed with "no field `guard` on type `&Arm`". Two reads had to move, not one, and the second is the dangerous half. Extracting the guard is the obvious change. But `chars_in_pattern` also walks `arm.pat`, which under 3.x IS the `Pat::Guard` wrapper — so a guarded arm contributes NO characters, the rule sees no guarded arms at all, reports zero offenders, and passes. It would have compiled, run green, and checked nothing. That is the exact failure this rule exists to prevent in the code it inspects, arriving in the rule itself. So it now has a canary, which it never did: a synthetic source with an unguarded 'p' shadowing a Ctrl-guarded 'p' must be FLAGGED, the correct order must not be, and the walk must be shown to have seen the characters at all. Both silent-break modes are mutation-verified — walking the wrapper unwrapped, and the guard extraction returning None. The existing `checked` floor guarded the sweep's reach but said nothing about whether the detector still detects. A rule that cannot be shown to fail is not coverage. Branch only: `Pat::Guard` does not exist in syn 2, so this cannot land on main ahead of the bump — the fix and the version are one unit. * fix(tests): the packaging guard cannot run where cargo-mutants runs `cargo-mutants (changed lines)` failed on this PR — not on a surviving mutant, on `git ls-files failed`. `cargo mutants` builds in a scratch COPY of the tree with no `.git`, so a guard that shells out to git panics there through no fault of the code under test. It passed on the previous dependabot PR because that one changed only `Cargo.lock` — no mutants to run, so the guard never executed in a scratch tree. The first PR to mutate real code was always going to hit this, and it happened to be the one fixing the parser. Skipping is right, but only on a genuinely absent repository. Treating ANY git failure as "no repo" would let the guard go quiet exactly where it matters — this is the check that stops a `.bak` reaching the crates.io tarball, which is the 0.34.1 yank class. So it inspects stderr for "not a git repository" and fails loudly on anything else. Verified both ways rather than assumed: the message matches outside a repo (checked against a real non-repo directory), and the guard still fires on a deliberately tracked `.bak` file inside one. * test(cli): --quiet was parsed and never exercised CI's `cargo-mutants --in-diff` found a survivor in the code I collapsed this morning: `delete !` in `if !quiet` at `cli/drift.rs:154`. Inverting that flag makes `--quiet` print and a normal run go silent, and nothing caught it. `quiet` was asserted at the argument-parsing level — `assert!(p.json && p.quiet)` — and nowhere at the behaviour. That is the difference between "the flag was read" and "the flag did anything", and it is the same shape as a guard whose assertion the broken state also satisfies. Reachable from `tests/cli.rs` without credentials, because the no-tfstate path returns before any AWS client is built: point `--tfdir` at an empty directory and the run exits with the hint. Two cases — without `--quiet` the hint prints AND names the `terraform state pull` workflow (the old message stopped at "pass --tfstate", useless if your state is in HCP), with `--quiet` both streams are empty. Plus the `--json` no-state shape end to end, which was a hand-written literal until 0.39.0 and omitted the `state` block every other drift response carries. Verified by mutating line 154 specifically — `if !quiet` now appears five times in that file, and a blanket sed proves nothing about which one is pinned. * fix(tests): pin LC_ALL for the packaging guard's git call git translates "not a git repository" — Apple Git ships no translations, Homebrew and Linux git do — so the skip condition would not match on a localised machine and the guard would fail loudly rather than skip. Loud is the safer wrong direction, but a guard that cannot run where `cargo mutants` runs is not much of a guard. * fix(drift): close the mutants gap properly, and stop a bad --tfdir guessing Two findings from reviewing this morning's defect fixes. **My `--quiet` fix did not fix the CI failure.** The behavioural tests went into `tests/cli.rs`, and every `cargo mutants` invocation here passes `-- --lib` — so integration tests are never compiled, and the `delete !` mutant on `if !quiet` was reported MISSED, covered by an integration test, and reported MISSED again. I closed the gap for `cargo test` and not for the harness that found it, then said it was closed. `no_state_output(quiet, json) -> NoState` is the decision as a value, so a lib test reaches it and the gate sees it. Verified under `--lib` only: the exact mutant CI reported is now CAUGHT, as is inverting the json/quiet precedence. The integration tests stay — they are the better test of what an operator sees; they were just the wrong place to close a hole that a `--lib` harness reported. **A `--tfdir` that does not resolve fell back to the current directory.** So `drift --tfdir /no/such/dir` run from a directory holding a `terraform.tfstate` reported confidently on whatever fleet THAT state describes — a wrong-fleet report reached by a typo, which is exactly what `lineage` exposes after the fact and this prevents up front. It also carried the same cannot-walk-up `"."` shape just removed from the MCP path. Now exits 2 naming the flag, and the no-tfdir case starts from the absolute cwd. Also strengthened a test the review called out: `drift_json_with_no_state` claimed "well-formed" while only substring-matching three keys, which a malformed document containing them would satisfy. It parses now, and asserts exit 0. `quiet` winning over `json` is deliberate and stated: an operator who asked for silence gets it. --------- Signed-off-by: dependabot[bot] Co-authored-by: dependabot[bot] <49699333+dependabot[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Tom Baldwin --- Cargo.lock | 2 +- Cargo.toml | 2 +- src/app/tests/key_arm_order.rs | 96 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- src/app/tests/scan.rs | 34 ++++++++++-- 4 files changed, 124 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/Cargo.lock b/Cargo.lock index b28cbef..a9d3cd7 100644 --- a/Cargo.lock +++ b/Cargo.lock @@ -1695,7 +1695,7 @@ dependencies = [ "serde_json", "serde_yml", "sha2 0.11.0", - "syn 2.0.119", + "syn 3.0.3", "tb-tui-common", "tokio", "tokio-util", diff --git a/Cargo.toml b/Cargo.toml index cf06d36..fb07f8a 100644 --- a/Cargo.toml +++ b/Cargo.toml @@ -118,7 +118,7 @@ proc-macro2 = { version = "1", features = ["span-locations"] } # proc-macro2 token trees would be a sixth hand-rolled parser in a # codebase that has been wrong five times, which is the argument against # doing it that way.

A confident drift report about the wrong fleet, reached by a typo — the failure `lineage` exposes after the fact, now refused up front. MCP `drift` could not discover a tfstate above the server's working directory although its description said it walks up: `Path::new(".").ancestors()` yields only `"."` and `""`. A project-scoped `.mcp.json` launching in the repo root usually got away with it. And `mcp serve` now tells a client when its own binary has been replaced underneath it. That one is the reason this is a release rather than a branch: its entire job is telling someone their running server is out of date, and it cannot do that from an unreleased commit. The people it helps are on 0.39.0 right now. Also merged the `syn` 2 -> 3 bump, which required adapting the key-arm guard: `Arm::guard` is gone and a guarded arm is now `Pat::Guard`. Two reads had to move, and the second — unwrapping before the character walk — would otherwise have left the rule compiling, running green, and checking nothing. It now has a canary proving it still detects, which it never had. semver-checks against published 0.39.0 as a patch: 223 checks, 223 pass. --- CHANGELOG.md | 25 ++++++++++++++++++++++++- Cargo.lock | 2 +- Cargo.toml | 2 +- server.json | 4 ++-- 4 files changed, 28 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 671f5eb..d7fa1a0 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -6,6 +6,12 @@ The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/), ## [Unreleased] +## [0.39.1] — 2026-09-18 + +**A same-day patch.** Two `drift` paths could report against the wrong +state — one silently, on a typo — and a running MCP server had no way to +tell a client its binary had been upgraded underneath it. + ### Added - **`ebman mcp serve` notices when its own binary is replaced.** A @@ -21,6 +27,22 @@ The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/), the response. +### Fixed + +- **`ebman drift --tfdir` pointed at a directory that does not exist + silently used the current directory instead.** Run from anywhere + holding a `terraform.tfstate`, `drift --tfdir /typo` compared the live + fleet against whatever state that file describes — a confident drift + report about the wrong fleet, reached by a typo.

Three passed, two found real defects. **`region` was null on every row.** The field shipped in 0.39.0 and was never populated. `DescribeEnvironments` does not return a region, and `stamp_region` was called only by the multi-region fan-out helpers — so every other caller got null, including the MCP tool that advertises the field in its own description. Stamped at the source now, from the region the client actually RESOLVED to. Found by a client that passed `region` explicitly and got null back, which rules out the ambient -default explanation. **The lint caveat pointed nowhere, and the harm is concrete.** Linting `Uflexi-prod-wk` — Yellow *because of* a dead-lettered message — returned EBL013 and EBL005 and nothing about the queue. Two unrelated warnings, and the actual cause of the health state invisible. A reader who does not re-read the tool description sees findings and concludes lint is happy. The result now carries `rules_not_checked`, naming EBL011 and pointing at `worker_queues`. That is the treatment `skipped_envs` already gets for degraded coverage, applied to the rules that cannot fire at all: a caveat an agent has to go back and look up is a caveat that gets skipped. The other three passed end to end, including `worker_queues` against the real dead-lettered message — task name, path and EB's own preformatted scheduled time all correct against what was established independently from events and CloudWatch. And `receive_count` went 5 to 6 between two calls, which is the peek caveat demonstrating itself.

First case where the read-only MCP surface has cost something operational rather than theoretical. Filed with the implementation trap the reporter found, because it is the kind that ships. SQS deletes by receipt handle, and a handle is valid only while the message is invisible: `peek_messages` uses `visibility_timeout(5)` while `CONFIRM_TTL_SECS` is 60. The handle is dead for 55 of the 60 seconds a plan stays confirmable — the failure is the default path, not a race, which is worse than the reporter knew. The dangerous fix is re-receiving at confirm and deleting the head of the queue: the plan names one message, the write removes another, and nothing says they differed. The entry records the shape that avoids it — verify the id matches, refuse on mismatch, and state which id was actually deleted rather than which was requested. Rule 6 applied to a write. Also filed the thing that blocks the grant even once it exists: `--allow-writes` is all-or-nothing, so permission to delete one SQS message is permission to terminate Prod. The reporter declined to ask for it on those grounds, which is both the right call and the evidence that the flag is too coarse.

From 8ad7066818848e6413e0b18d0c9e0edda69606ab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Baldwin Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 16:32:20 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 037/222] =?UTF-8?q?feat(mcp):=20dead-letter=20management?= =?UTF-8?q?=20=E2=80=94=20resend,=20delete,=20purge?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ebman could name a worker environment's problem and not finish it: one dead-lettered message held an environment Warning for days while the tool that diagnosed it could only watch. Three verbs, two-phase like every other write, `--allow-writes` only. **The plan carries a message ID, not a receipt handle**, and that is the whole design. SQS deletes by handle; a handle is valid only while the message is invisible; the peek that issues one uses a 5-second visibility timeout while a confirm token lives 60. So a handle captured at plan time is dead for 55 of the 60 seconds the plan stays confirmable — not a race, the default path. The fix that looks obvious is worse: re-receive at confirm and act on what comes back. That removes the head of the queue, which need not be the message the plan described, and nothing in the output says they differed. Confirm instead re-reads, finds the PLANNED id, and refuses if it is gone — the message may have been consumed, redriven or removed by someone else, and each of those means the plan no longer describes reality. Resend sends before deleting. The other order loses the message when the send fails; this order can duplicate it, and a duplicate in a worker queue is the recoverable failure — sqsd retries by design. `dlq_purge` is annotated as destructively as `terminate`, on the reasoning that an environment can be rebuilt from its configuration and a purged message cannot. Its description says so, and says it also removes anything that arrived after the plan was made. Three tests, each pinning a failure that would otherwise ship: the target swap (mutating the id check to take the head — CAUGHT), the send/delete ordering (source-pinned; the dispatch needs SQS), and the timeout-versus-TTL invariant, which reads the peek's visibility timeout out of the source rather than restating it — clippy caught the first version as a constant-folded assertion that could not fail. The instructions block's TUI-only list is down to one entry, and its staleness guard is re-aimed at the live log tail. That guard has now fired correctly three times. --- CHANGELOG.md | 27 ++++ docs/headless.md | 1 + src/cli/mcp/annotations.rs | 8 + src/cli/mcp/mod.rs | 137 +++++++++++++++-- src/cli/mcp/tools.rs | 12 ++ src/cli/mcp/writes.rs | 306 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 6 files changed, 482 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md index 153befc..e3b58b2 100644 --- a/CHANGELOG.md +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -6,6 +6,33 @@ The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/), ## [Unreleased] +### Added + +- **Dead-letter management over MCP** — `dlq_resend`, `dlq_delete` and + `dlq_purge`, two-phase like every other write and available only under + `--allow-writes`.

The first draft resolved that tension with an argument: ebman is not the security boundary, IAM is, so an agent with credentials bypasses ebman with `aws sqs` anyway and the gate is for deliberateness rather than prevention. **An adversarial review showed that argument is over-generalised from the one incident it was written from, and false exactly where it matters.** An agent with `mcp__ebman__*` allowed and `Bash` denied — an ordinary setup, arguably the recommended one — has no fallback. Nor does a shell-less client, nor one talking to a containerised server under a role it does not hold. For those principals ebman IS the boundary, and refusal is real prevention rather than a detour. So the IAM claim is demoted to a deployment-dependent fact, and whether an attestation counts becomes an operator opt-in, default off. That makes Principle 5 hold by construction rather than by argument, since the key that gives request content force is itself outside the request. Three more corrections worth the revision: The DEFAULT/DECISION rule does not survive contact with the levels design — if an `ask` comes from a level an operator chose, attestation answers nothing; if it does not, attestation softens levels operators chose. It was a rationalisation, not a predicate. Replaced with the explicit list of controls attestation can never touch. Attestation IS pre-committable, which Principle 2 forbids of an escape. An agent's system prompt is a runbook and prose is script. The draft implied free text was the safeguard; it is not, it will converge on boilerplate, and the real safeguards are the opt-in and visibility. And the worst one: the design's only honest promise is "it proceeds on the record", while `write_audit_line` discards its write error and rotates at 1 MiB. A full disk breaks the one true claim. Attested dispatch must be write-through, gated on the line landing, with a test that shows it failing — the single place in ebman where an audit failure must stop the action. Also: a declared elicitation capability is a label, not a human — a client that auto-answers gets a CLEANER trail than an honest attester, which is the wrong incentive, so the ask is audited too. And the CLI answer is `--attest ""` rather than `--yes`, because a bare boolean is the defaultable escape Principle 2 exists to prevent. Nothing implemented. The review's verdict was NEEDS REVISION; this is the revision, and it wants re-reviewing before any of it is built. --- docs/design/protection-levels.md | 174 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 173 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/docs/design/protection-levels.md b/docs/design/protection-levels.md index 5ce42c0..db6d0b1 100644 --- a/docs/design/protection-levels.md +++ b/docs/design/protection-levels.md @@ -1,6 +1,9 @@ # Protection levels for operator tools -**Status:** design note, nothing implemented.

Say so. + +Principle 2 requires an escape to be non-defaultable — "impossible to +pre-commit to a script or reduce to muscle memory." **An attestation +fails that test**, and pretending otherwise would be the dishonest part +of this design. A line in an agent's system prompt — *"when ebman asks, +attest that the operator authorised it"* — is a runbook, and for an +agent, prose is script. The incentive is one-way: attesting costs a +sentence, refusing costs the task. + +So the free text is **not** the safeguard. It will converge on +boilerplate, and the fortieth identical sentence is not evidence. The +safeguards are the opt-in above and visibility below. Expect routine +attestation where it is enabled; design for it rather than treating it +as an anomaly. + +### Attested implies durably audited — a hard invariant + +The design's only honest promise is *it proceeds on the record*. Today +that promise is unbacked: `write_audit_line` returns early if the cache +directory cannot be created and discards the write error +(`let _ = f.write_all(...)`), and the log rotates at 1 MiB with a single +backup. Best-effort is defensible for telemetry. It is fatal for a +mechanism whose entire deliverable is the record. + +**If the `stage=attested` line cannot be durably appended, the ask is +unanswered and degrades to deny.** Write-through, checked, with the +dispatch gated on it.

A framework that declares `elicitation: {}` +and routes the question back to its own model gets its asks "satisfied" +with no attestation event and no free-text claim — **a cleaner audit +trail than the honest attester**, which is precisely the wrong incentive. +So: audit the ask as well (`stage=asked`, with the question and the +answer), and never describe elicitation as "a human confirmed". + +### The honest limit + +**A false attestation is not detectable at the time.** An agent that +says "the operator authorised this" and was not told so will proceed. +What the design buys, where an operator has enabled it, is that this +happens on a durable record, against an action already within the +principal's ceiling, in a form a human reviews afterwards.

From d73831ffc8db05beceb4cdd9bbec8f1202b6a2b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Baldwin Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 16:47:15 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 039/222] docs(design): fold in the buildability review, and name the half-day slice MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Second review, non-overlapping brief. It confirmed the seams hold and found four things the design assumed about the codebase that are not true. **`decide` takes no action.** It answers "may anything write to this env", never "may terminate this env" — so a ladder distinguishing reversible writes from irreversible ones cannot be evaluated at all today. The attributes exist but are `pub(super)` inside the MCP module, and there are three action vocabularies with no mapping between them. That makes the backlog's "neutral action vocabulary" a prerequisite rather than a nicety. **Elicitation is a frame-loop change.** The loop treats every inbound frame as a client request and matches on `method`; a client's RESPONSE to a server-initiated `elicitation/create` has no route and would be answered with an unknown-method error. It also collides with `TOOL_TIMEOUT_SECS = 30` against human latency, which is a maintainer decision about a documented contract, not an implementation detail. I suspected I had underestimated this and I had. **The serializer deletes what it does not emit** — `:settings` rewrites config.toml from the parsed config, so a recognised-but-unserialised `safety.level` vanishes on the next save. And a `safety.level` line makes any pre-0.37 binary refuse every write, TUI included: correct by fail-closed design, worth a sentence so it is not found on a second machine. **A contradiction:** an earlier section says an absent safety stanza resolves every principal to `observe`, which would make a fresh install's TUI read-only and break every existing user. The document has to pick the per-transport-default reading; as written it is not implementable without a regression. The best thing in the review is a mechanism better than my own rule. Keep `decide` pure and the attestation OUT of `WriteContext`: `decide` returns `Ask` for defaults and `Deny` for pins and freezes, and the caller satisfies an `Ask`. The transport then physically cannot convert a `Deny` — "may raise a default, never override a decision" stops being a sentence someone must remember and becomes a shape the types enforce. And the slice worth having even if none of the rest is built: scope `--allow-writes` by verb. Half a day, pure ceiling, resolves the incident that motivated all of this, prejudges nothing.

"This session" is also unenforceable across processes: two servers share From 8787f2872f33526b5481b390f07349411ccb2206 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Baldwin Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 17:28:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 040/222] feat(mcp): verb-scoped --allow-writes MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit `--allow-writes` was all-or-nothing: granting an agent the ability to delete one dead-lettered message also granted terminate across every environment the credentials reach. `--allow-writes=dlq_resend,dlq_delete` now grants exactly those, and composes with the existing per-env pins — "delete DLQ messages anywhere except the environments I pinned" is now expressible. Bare `--allow-writes` still means every verb, so existing `.mcp.json` files keep working. Two layers, deliberately: * out-of-scope verbs are not advertised in `tools/list` — a client that cannot see a tool does not plan around it; * and they are refused at dispatch, because a client holding a cached list from a wider grant would otherwise reach the body. The parse fails closed: an unknown verb is an error naming the typo and listing what is known, not a silent skip. A typo'd `--allow-writes=dlq_delte` that quietly granted nothing would look exactly like a working narrow grant until the first write was refused; one that quietly granted everything would be worse. The scope is stated in the `initialize` instructions block, because a withheld tool is simply absent from tools/list and absent is ambiguous — it reads as "ebman cannot do this" when it means "you were not granted this". Same failure the version line there already guards against: an agent reporting a config choice as a capability gap.

These **fail closed**: a line under `safety.` that ebman cannot act on — field omitted, field misspelled, value not a boolean, or a field only a newer version understands — refuses *every* write until it is fixed, rather than being skipped. Earlier versions skipped such lines silently, so a mistyped pin left the environment writeable while the operator believed it locked. A `config.toml` that exists but cannot be read at all (permissions, a non-UTF-8 byte, a failing disk) refuses the same way; a *missing* config file does not, since there are no pins to miss. Same reasoning as the freeze marker below: where a safety mechanism cannot be evaluated, the safe reading is to refuse. Enforced CLI-side too: `ebman action` (rebuild / restart / terminate / deploy / rollout), `ebman audit replay`, and `ebman lint --fix` all refuse pinned targets before dispatch (exit 3). - **Session-scoped fleet freeze**: `:freeze-deploys [REASON]` (or `:incident START "headline"`, which sets the same lock plus a header banner and audit lines) makes every destructive op refuse until `:thaw-deploys` / `:incident END` or exit. Since 0.28 it also persists a **pid-scoped marker** at `~/.cache/ebman/freeze.json` (0600) so *other processes* honour it — the MCP write tools and the CLI write paths (`ebman action`, `audit replay`, `lint --fix`) refuse while a live TUI session holds a freeze. The pid keeps the semantics session-scoped: a crashed TUI's marker is ignored (and cleaned up) by the next reader. The check is `kill(pid, 0)` plus the process's start time: a pid that is in use but whose holder started *after* the marker was written cannot be the session that wrote it, so the marker is stale. That closes the pid-reuse window — pids are handed out sequentially and wrap, so a crashed session's marker would otherwise be adopted by an unrelated process within days. Anything the check cannot determine (no start time available, an unparseable timestamp) is treated as still-owned: a phantom freeze refuses writes and is fixed by deleting the file, whereas a lifted freeze lets writes through during a declared incident. Deleting the file remains the documented last resort. Deleting the file is the manual unfreeze of last resort. Not durable policy — it lives and dies with the TUI session that set it. diff --git a/src/cli/mcp/writes.rs b/src/cli/mcp/writes.rs index a6c408c..2a96a7b 100644 --- a/src/cli/mcp/writes.rs +++ b/src/cli/mcp/writes.rs @@ -157,6 +157,41 @@ impl Server { /// appending a real line to the real audit log.

That is a lie in the shape that matters. It tells the agent ebman LACKS terminate, which directly contradicts the scope line in the `instructions` block and is exactly the reading that sends an agent off to report a capability gap instead of asking for the grant to be widened. It also skipped the audit, so the attempt left no trace. Known verbs now fall through to the scope gate, which refuses by name and audits. A name that is not a verb at all is still -32602. Also files the general gap this exposed: no guard catches a refusal path that audits nothing. `write_refusal_paths_are_audited` pins the callers of the known escape hatch, not a path that reaches for neither helper — so the blind spot 0.37 closed is re-openable by any new gate, and gates are what the protection-levels work adds.

Three doc comments were attached to the wrong function. Inserting a new item directly below an existing doc comment steals that comment and leaves the original bare, and the merged block reads as one doc that contradicts itself: `gate_refusal`'s — which opens "Named `gate_refusal` rather than `refuse_write` because…" — ended up on `refuse_out_of_scope`. Same for `write_tool_descriptors` (stolen by `write_verb_names`) and `tool_write_plan` (stolen by its own test seam). All three restored. `write_verb_names()` was rebuilding the entire descriptor table on every `tools/call`, including the overwhelmingly common case of an ordinary advertised read tool. Now evaluated only when the name is not advertised. Also removes a stale duplicate of the comment above it, left inside the branch it no longer describes. The derived verb list made a 145-column line in `mcp setup` output, against surrounding text that wraps at 65 — the one paragraph that reflows into a mess in a narrow terminal, which is what 0.36 was about. Wrapped, with `wrapped_verbs` tested for the cases that matter: no split identifier, no trailing comma, no dropped verb. Files the tree-wide instance of the doc-comment class: 19 candidates across 15 files, of which 3 were checked by hand and 2 were real. Deferred as a 15-module sweep needing a judgement per site.

An agent reads that as "the DLQ is empty" — a false all-clear, sitting next to the number that contradicts it. Demo has no SQS behind it and never peeks. It passed the REQUEST flag through as the answer for shape parity with the live path, but shape parity does not need the boolean to lie: `peeked` reports whether we looked, which in demo is always no. This is the third site of one defect. `dlq_peek_outcome` was fixed for it (`peeked = dlq_url.is_some()` reporting "we looked, nothing there" for a queue we were denied) and so was the live path ("`peeked` reports whether we LOOKED, not what was asked for"). The demo path was the only one with no test, which is why it survived both fixes. Also files a finding from the same session: the three DLQ write verbs reach real AWS under `--demo`, against the module's promise that demo plans synthetically. Dispatch is demo-guarded so no real message can be deleted, but the plan phase calls `peek_messages`, which increments `receive_count` on live messages. Three reasonable fixes, so it is filed with a recommendation rather than decided here.

Every subcommand returns from `main` before `init_logging`, by a deliberate design that predates the MCP server: "handle CLI flags before any TUI / logging setup so they print cleanly". Correct for `--version`. Wrong for a daemon. The whole subcommand surface contained exactly ONE `tracing::` call, and it was the one recording whether a connecting MCP client declares elicitation support — the measurement PLAN.md stage 3 installed specifically to turn stage 5's stop condition from a guess into data. It had never written a line and could not. A probe declaring elicitation support moved the log by zero bytes. `serve` now initialises file logging; the same probe records `elicitation=true` and a plain client `elicitation=false`. File-only, and it must stay that way — `serve` speaks JSON-RPC on stdout, so a stdout layer would interleave log lines into the protocol. `setup` deliberately does not: it is a pure printer whose module doc promises it writes no files. `wants_file_logging` holds that split so the sub-verb knowledge stays in the mcp module rather than being duplicated in `main`. PLAN.md corrected: the elicitation count starts at zero on 2026-09-18, not at the stage-3 date.

Dispatch was already demo-guarded, so no real message could be deleted. But `peek_messages` is not side-effect-free — its own tool description says it increments `receive_count` on every message it returns — so `--demo` could alter metadata on a live queue. Fixed with a fixture rather than a special case, which was the shape the backlog item recommended and the one that also closes the hole it exposed. `dlq_messages_for_env` gives `poly-batch` two synthetic dead-lettered messages: an EB scheduled task, and one carrying no `beanstalk.sqsd.*` attributes so `task: null` is exercised. Fewer than the depth of 12, because a real peek samples. That retires the `peeked: false` stopgap from earlier today. Demo now has something to look at, so the flag tracks the request honestly instead of disclaiming a look that never happened. The test was rewritten around the invariant — a successful peek of a non-empty queue must return something — rather than flipping the boolean it asserted. The triage story is now walkable with no credentials at all: peek, read which task dead-lettered, plan, confirm. Verified over stdio with every AWS_* variable stripped and the credentials files pointed at /dev/null. Also closes `syn` 2 → 3: dependabot #11 merged at 14:10 today, CI green.

Reported from a fleet whose worker payloads are job dispatches for a live staffing platform, where a body can carry seller and buyer identifiers. The tool description was the only thing between a peek and a ticket. Defaults to current behaviour, and that is the substance of the design rather than caution. EB's worker daemon sets `beanstalk.sqsd.*` on the tasks IT schedules and those survive the switch — separate fields on the same message. A message an APPLICATION posted has no such attributes: its identity is in the body or nowhere, which is why `peek_messages` asks for `All` attributes in the first place. On that shape, `false` removes the only diagnostic content there is. So it is a choice an operator makes knowingly, with the trade written into the config docs. Three things this turned on: * The `body` key is REPLACED with a marker naming the setting, never dropped. An absent key reads as "this message had no body" — a different claim, and the one an agent acts on. * The `worker_queues` and `why` descriptions declare the policy when it is active. A config key is invisible to the agent; without the note, withheld and empty are the same observation. * `ResolvedConfig` mirrors the key although the TUI never reads it. `:settings` rebuilds a whole `Config` from App state, so a key the App does not carry is reset to its default — and this defaults to on. An operator who turned bodies off and opened the settings form would have got them back silently. A mutation proved the config-level round-trip test missed that path entirely; a second test now drives `current_config_snapshot`. Six mutations CAUGHT across both halves, including both hops of the TUI path. Not honoured under `--demo`, which reads no operator config by design — documented, since its bodies are fixture data anyway.

It could. I had claimed `config_dir()` has no env override, having tried `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` and seen no effect. It reads `HOME` — ten lines away in `util.rs`, and `tests/cli.rs`'s own helper already redirects it for exactly this reason, with a comment explaining the mechanism. One failed attempt is not a mechanism, and a negative claim ends the work, so nobody re-checks it. The test spawns the real binary with `HOME` pointed at a temp config and drives initialize + tools/list over stdio. No AWS needed — the tool list is answered from the static table. It covers wiring the unit tests structurally cannot: they inject a `Config` straight into the server, so they would still pass if `config::load()` were never called, if the field were dropped between the file and `safety_cfg`, or if the key were parsed into the wrong place. Each is a silent privacy regression — the operator sets the key, the server ignores it, nothing says so. Verified by severing that wiring (`safety_cfg` = defaults): CAUGHT. The control run is asserted too, so it cannot pass on a server that always declares the policy.

It composes with the existing pins, and bare `--allow-writes` still means everything, so existing registrations are unaffected. Dead-letter management ships with it — resend, delete and purge, each two-phase, each carrying the message id rather than a receipt handle because a handle is dead for 55 of the 60 seconds a confirm token lives. `mcp.peek_bodies = false` withholds queue payloads from the MCP surface for fleets whose worker messages carry customer data. It defaults to current behaviour deliberately: EB's own scheduled tasks keep their `beanstalk.sqsd.*` fields either way, but an application-posted message carries its identity in the body or nowhere. Two fixes worth naming. `ebman mcp serve` had no file logging at all — every subcommand returns before `init_logging`, which is right for a flag that prints and exits and wrong for a daemon. The surface's one `tracing::` call was the instrument recording MCP client elicitation support, so it had recorded nothing since it was installed. And `--demo` reached real AWS on the three DLQ verbs, against the module's promise of a synthetic plan; `peek_messages` is not side-effect-free, so a demo server could alter metadata on a live queue. Audited before tagging: 131 registry commands all documented, semver-checks 223/223 against published 0.39.1 as a patch, no dependency majors in the public API, cargo-deny clean.

It upgraded, went to scope its own server to `--allow-writes=dlq_delete` — the narrowest possible grant, the exact case the feature was built for — and its client refused the edit outright as self-modification. Not a prompt it could accept; a denial. It did not route around it, and said so: the party that benefits from a grant is not the party that makes it. The refusal was correct. The wasted attempt was avoidable, and that part is ours: nothing on this surface said whose job the edit was, and a `tools/list` with no write tools in it reads as "go and enable them". So the read-only `instructions` block now says asking is the agent's whole part in it, and names the self-modification refusal so the denial is expected rather than confusing. `docs/headless.md` gives the operator the instruction directly instead of describing the grant in a way a reader might delegate — the grant is small enough to look routine, which is exactly what makes people hand it off. Second note, recorded as an unknown rather than a finding: whether a client's reconnect re-reads the config and re-spawns with new argv, or reuses the spawn command cached at session start. We have not established it for any client, and ebman cannot see it. But the failure mode if it caches is ours by shape — the verb is absent from `tools/list`, which reads as a broken feature rather than a flag that has not taken effect, with the trap that the previous reconnect DID work and built confidence in the wrong mechanism. A full client restart is correct either way, so both the docs and a narrow grant's `instructions` now say to suspect this first. Two mutations CAUGHT on the new guidance.

Answering it properly meant admitting a source scan cannot settle the question. `Server::client()` has no demo guard — it always builds a real AWS client. The promise that `--demo` touches nothing is kept by a branch at each of sixteen call sites, which is convention, not construction. My first audit checked each call site for a `Backend::Demo` mention earlier in its function and reported all sixteen GUARDED. Run against the pre-fix tree it reports the actual defect as GUARDED too: `tool_write_plan` is long and its other arms mention demo, so a per-function check cannot see a bare branch inside it. So this drives the real binary instead, with credentials that cannot work and an endpoint on a closed port, and asserts every advertised tool answers from the fixture. Verified by restoring the original bug verbatim: CAUGHT, `dispatch failure`. Twenty tools pass. The names are listed rather than parsed from `tools/list`, and cross-checked against it, so a tool vanishing from the advertised set fails loudly instead of quietly shrinking what this covers. Scope of the original defect, for the record: plan phase only, reads only, and never in a released binary — the DLQ verbs first shipped in 0.40.0 and the fix shipped with them. But `peek_messages` is not side-effect-free, so the window was real rather than theoretical.

It did not make it reachable: getting `dlq_delete` means stopping mid-task, editing the MCP registration and restarting the client. That cost is paid at exactly the moment the tool is proving useful, and the maintainer's reaction on being shown it — "I'd probably stop bothering" — is an adoption verdict rather than a UX quibble. Worse, the people who do make the trip make it once and leave the grant permanently on, which is the outcome the narrow flag existed to prevent. Both annoying and ineffective. The note keeps what the flag was right about. A ceiling set outside the request is worth protecting, because this surface pulls untrusted text into the agent's context — `worker_queues --peek` returns whatever the operator's application POSTed, which 0.40.0 judged sensitive enough to withhold and is equally untrusted enough to carry instructions. Elicitation authorises an instance; a ceiling bounds the space. The design needs both. So the flag becomes "may ask about", set once and wide, and grants become runtime and time-boxed — issued by the operator through the `freeze.rs` marker machinery, or requested by the agent through elicitation, with `tools/list_changed` making tools appear mid-session. The operator route needs no elicitation, which is what makes this buildable before the client question is settled. Best idea in it is free: planning is read-only, so the plan can be produced before permission is sought and used AS the request. The operator sees "delete message d3b07384… — EB task 'Remove unattended jobs', dead-lettered 9h ago" instead of "allow dlq_delete?". One is a decision; the other is a reflex. Open questions are recorded as measurements to take rather than assumptions to design around, including the one that needs a human: an agent cannot restart the client it runs inside.

If a dead-lettered body can talk an agent into +proposing `terminate`, the only defence that does not depend on a tired +human reading a prompt carefully is a ceiling that never had `terminate` +in it. + +Elicitation alone does not give that. **Elicitation authorises an +instance; a ceiling bounds the space.** They are different jobs and the +design needs both. + +## The shape + +**The flag stops meaning "may do" and starts meaning "may ask about".** + +Set once at install, deliberately wide, because a grant to *ask* costs +nothing. `--allow-writes` with no verbs becomes the sensible default +rather than the reckless one. + +**Grants happen at runtime, and expire.** Two routes: + +1. **Operator issues one.** `ebman grant dlq_delete --env poly-batch + --ttl 1h`, or `:grant` in the TUI. This reuses the cross-process + marker machinery that `:freeze-deploys` already uses — the TUI + writes, the MCP server reads it live on the next gate check, with the + pid-liveness and pid-reuse handling already solved in `src/freeze.rs`. +2. **Agent asks.** MCP elicitation: the server pauses mid-call and asks + the client to put a prompt in front of the operator. + +Either way the server then emits `notifications/tools/list_changed`, the +client refetches, and the write tools appear **mid-session**. No +restart, no file. + +**Route 1 does not depend on elicitation.** This is the load-bearing +property of the design and the reason it is buildable now: if a client +does not support elicitation, the operator approves in the TUI or a +terminal instead, and the feature still works. Elicitation is an +upgrade, not a prerequisite. + +### The plan IS the permission request + +The best idea here is free, because the machinery already exists. + +Every write is two-phase: a plan, then a confirm. **Planning is +read-only** — it validates, resolves the queue, names the message — so +it can be allowed with no grant at all. That means the plan can be +produced *before* permission is sought, and then used as the content of +the request. + +The prompt an operator sees stops being a category judgement: + +> Allow `dlq_delete`? + +and becomes a factual one: + +> Delete message `d3b07384…` from `poly-batch-dlq` — EB task "Remove +> unattended jobs", dead-lettered 9h ago, receive_count 4. Queue depth +> 12. + +The second is a decision a person can actually make at 11pm. The first +is one they will approve on reflex. This costs nothing to build: the +plan already renders in exactly that form. + +### Scope grants to env + verb + TTL + +Not just verb. Incidents are about one environment, and +`dlq_delete on poly-batch for 1h` is both tighter and closer to how the +operator is already thinking. It also collapses most of the injection +concern: a persuaded agent still cannot act outside the environment the +human named. + +### Declaring an incident revokes outstanding grants + +`:freeze-deploys` / `:incident` already exist and are already read +cross-process by the MCP server. Composing them is nearly free and is +the right instinct — the moment things go wrong is the moment ambient +permission should lapse, not persist. + +### Visibility, or we have traded one failure for its mirror + +The flag's failure mode is *permanent and forgotten*. Dynamic grants +risk the opposite: *invisible and unaccounted*. Both are the same +defect — the operator cannot answer "what can this thing do right now?" + +So: live grants visible in the TUI (header pill or `:grants`), and the +audit line records **which grant authorised each write**, not just that +a write happened. That closes the loop — "granted at 23:04 for one hour, +used twice by 23:12" should be reconstructable from the log. + +### `ebman mcp doctor` + +The server learns at handshake exactly what the client declared. It +should say so: + + Claude Code — elicitation: no · tools/list_changed: yes + → operator-issued grants will work; agent-initiated asks will not. + +This is an adoption fix more than a debugging one. It is the difference +between "this feature is broken" and "your client does not carry that +half", and an agent reporting the former is a support cost that never +had to exist. + +The pattern is established and has already cost something. On +2026-09-17 the TUI's update checker wrote +`newer ebman released on crates.io current="0.36.0" latest=0.38.0` to +the log three times. The information was correct, timely, and in the +right file — and had no route to the agent, which spent that period +reporting capability gaps against a binary two releases old. The +version line in the `instructions` block exists because of that. `mcp +doctor` is the same fix for capabilities: **a fact with no route to its +consumer is not a fact that consumer has.** + +## What this is not + +**Not a security boundary.** Anything that can write files can write the +grant marker, exactly as it could edit a config key. This protects +against mistake, drift and momentum — which is what actually goes wrong +— and the docs must say so plainly rather than implying more. ebman's +existing line holds: the boundary is IAM. + +**Not per-action prompting by default.** If forty messages dead-letter, +prompting per message produces rubber-stamping, which is worse than a +scoped grant because it *looks* like control. A bounded grant — this +env, this verb, one hour — is more honest and safer than forty prompts +nobody reads. Per-action asks are right for the destructive tail +(`terminate`, `dlq_purge`), not for routine work. + +## Open questions + +Two are client behaviour and cannot be settled from inside ebman. Both +should be answered before building, not designed around: + +- **Does Claude Code declare elicitation support?** Decides whether + route 2 is a primary path or an upgrade. The instrument that measures + this was dead until 0.40.0 — `ebman mcp serve` had no file logging at + all, so the one `tracing::` call on the surface wrote nowhere. It now + records `elicitation=` per connection. **No measurement yet**: + every line currently in the log is a synthetic probe. + + *Documentary* evidence, which is not the same claim: Claude Code's + own MCP documentation describes elicitation dialogs as implemented, + in passing, while explaining call backgrounding — "the server is + blocked on your input, not slow, so Claude Code defers the move until + the dialog closes". A client that has worked out the interaction + between elicitation and backgrounding is not one that declines the + capability. Predicted value: `true`. If it comes back `false`, Claude + Code implements the dialogs without declaring the capability to stdio + servers, which would itself be worth knowing. + + Design elicitation as the primary path on that basis, but do not skip + the check: *documented support* and *a declared capability on this + transport* are different claims. + + **The measurement needs the maintainer, not an agent.** It requires a + real Claude Code client to connect to ebman 0.40.0, and restarting + the client is a human action — an agent cannot restart the session it + is running inside. One connection writes the line. +- **Does the client refetch on `tools/list_changed`?** If it ignores the + notification, the feature degrades to "the agent must already know the + tool name" — workable but poor, and worth knowing first. + +And one that is ours: + +- **Does a grant survive a server restart?** A marker file says yes by + construction.

Two objections, one load-bearing, and it corrects the section I was most pleased with. "The plan IS the permission request" was wrong as written. A plan describes the operation, and the reason to refuse usually lives outside the operation. The note's own example prompt — delete message d3b07384, EB task "Remove unattended jobs", dead-lettered 9h ago — is accurate, specific and complete about the action, and the maintainer would have approved it, because nothing in it says that message was the only live fixture for an end-to-end test of a feature shipped an hour earlier. That was the actual reason to keep it, and it is a property of the week, not of the message. So the failure mode is not an under-specified plan. It is one fully specified about mechanics and silent about stakes, which is worse than a vague one: it reads as complete, and discourages the pause in which the operator remembers what it omits. The plan must therefore state what the action FORECLOSES — "not recoverable, and it is the only message in the queue" — which is derivable from state already held. That is rule 6, a result carrying its own negative space, applied to a plan rather than a result. Second objection: a prompt authored by the party requesting permission is a persuasion surface, through ordinary gradient rather than intent. Checked, and ebman already has the right property — every plan field is rendered server-side from AWS or fixture state, with no agent prose anywhere. So the design protects it rather than builds it, and the reviewer's suggested "let the agent supply a short reason" is declined: it is the one part that would introduce the risk. The agent's argument already exists in the conversation; copying it inside ebman's frame gives it authority it has not earned and blurs the tool's account of the world with the requester's case for acting on it. Also recorded: plan-as-prompt is the shape of the FIRST ask and approving it issues the window, or detail decays into ceremony by the fifth prompt; and a repeated ask should say that it is one.

The argument that the agent's case lives in the conversation, and so need not be imported into the plan, assumes the operator is reading the conversation. Elicitation is precisely the case where they may not be — that is its appeal, approval in-client without going anywhere else, and in a remote setup the dialog may be all they see. The tempting fix is to import the agent's reason into the dialog. It is wrong for the reason already given, and the right conclusion is the uncomfortable one: if the operator cannot see why the agent is asking, they should not be approving a discretionary write on the plan alone. That is a reason to refuse, not to enrich the prompt. The fixture case is the type specimen — every mechanical fact in that prompt was correct and the right answer was still no. Consequence: issuing a grant is discretionary, confirming an action inside one is mechanical. So grants belong on the operator route (`ebman grant` / `:grant`, neither a restart), and elicitation is well suited to confirmation within a grant and poorly suited to issuing one. That makes the elicitation measurement less load-bearing than this note first claimed — it decides whether per-action confirmation exists, not whether the feature works. Recorded as a tension rather than resolved: this cuts against the maintainer's original ask that the agent be able to request the unlock without leaving the conversation. His call, and flagged as such rather than designed away.

The maintainer overturned that — "surely that's the point, that we don't have to do that" — and I said I would fix it and then did not. The ruling is now recorded with his words: elicitation carries the grant request, the CLI route is the fallback. What survives from the argument it replaced is the discipline rather than the routing: the dialog must not be built to stand alone. **Two stale conclusions.** The measurement was demoted on the reasoning that grants came from the operator anyway — dead reasoning, now re-promoted, because without elicitation there is no server→client→human channel and the in-conversation ask is not buildable. And the status header still described the ceiling as a wide flag. **Two rulings were missing entirely.** The maintainer's clearest contribution — config may only ever say *no*, because a standing restriction is decided calmly and only narrows, while a standing permission must predict the future and is paid for at the worst moment — was in conversation and nowhere in the note. So was the observation that the client's own tool-approval prompt may already deliver in-conversation approval with no ebman work at all, given the write tools are already annotated destructive. That is now mechanism 1, ahead of elicitation, because it is free if it works. Also: named layers 1-4, since the note called one "layer four" without ever naming the others; added the implementation order; scoped the not-a-security-boundary caveat to layers 2 and 3, since 1 and 4 are IAM and are exactly why they are in the design; and recorded that `/mcp` shows tools but not capabilities, which was measured, not assumed.

The constraint that comes with it is hard and is now written down. Previously a missing approval gate left the operator safe by default: no elicitation meant falling back to a flag. Now a missing gate leaves them open by default. The TUI's gate is that a human is typing, and that terminate demands the env name back; the MCP surface's gate is the client prompt or elicitation, and neither has been measured.

There is now a key to forbid writes and deliberately none to allow them. `write_gate::WriteContext.global_read_only` already existed as the highest-precedence rung, fully tested, and nothing could set it from config — only the TUI's session toggle reached it. This wires it up. Three enforcement points, each pinned: * The TUI ORs standing with session, so the in-session toggle may only ever ADD a refusal. "Choosing in advance never to allow writes" means nothing if pressing a key lifts it. * The CLI honoured neither. It passed `global_read_only: false` unconditionally, correct while the rung was TUI-only and a hole the moment the key existed — an operator who forbade writes in config would still have had them from `ebman action`. A mutation showed the fix was unpinned after I wrote it; it is pinned now. * `:settings` carries it through the snapshot, so a save cannot lift a refusal the operator set on purpose. Fails closed: an unreadable value is a `safety.*` parse error, which refuses every write until fixed. Also fixes a defect this work introduced and then caught: the parse error message shipped with a 26-space hole, because a Python heredoc ate the `\` continuation and produced the collapsed single-line form. `no_wrapped_string_literal_leaves_an_indentation_hole` passes clean against it — it only sees the multi-line shape — which confirms the open backlog item about that guard empirically rather than in theory. The test now asserts on the RENDERED message, per CLAUDE.md, since the previous assertion was true either way. Six mutations CAUGHT across the parser, both gates and the message.

A plan described the operation and said nothing about the stakes. That is worse than a vague plan, not better — it reads as complete, and a prompt that looks complete discourages the pause in which the operator remembers what it does not contain. The type specimen is real: a dead-lettered message whose plan named the id, the task, the age and the receive count, every fact correct, which was the only live fixture for a feature shipped an hour earlier. Nothing about the message would have surfaced that; "it is destroyed and ebman keeps no copy" might. The variance across the eight verbs is half the value. `restart` says "nothing else — no state is lost and nothing here needs undoing"; `dlq_delete` says "SQS has no undelete and ebman keeps no copy". An operator who reads both learns the difference without being told. Queue depth is rendered as SQS's approximate count, never as fact. "It is the only message in the queue" is a firmer claim than `ApproximateNumberOfMessages` supports, and over-claiming from an approximate source in a prompt meant to provoke caution would be its own defect. Three mutations CAUGHT, one of which found a real gap: the foreclosure was unit-tested per verb but not pinned in the plan, so replacing the rendered value with "" left the suite green. That is the shape CLAUDE.md names — pin the wiring, not just the branch — and the plan test now asserts it. Also fixes, again, the wrapped-literal hole: five arms shipped with 14-space gaps because the generator ate their `\` continuations. Third instance today, and `no_wrapped_string_literal_leaves_an_ indentation_hole` passes clean against every one of them. The test asserts on the rendered string, which is the only thing that catches it.

For every other verb that is survivable — you can go and look at the environment afterwards. For a delete it is not: the thing the log declined to name is exactly the thing that no longer exists. Lines now carry `message_id=` and `task=`. Tier 1 of the retention design the maintainer raised — keeping a copy of deleted messages — now written up in docs/design/runtime-grants.md. It is the half with no privacy cost, and the prerequisite for the rest: a copy is worth little if the log cannot say what it was a copy of. The design records why the rest is not simply "write the body to disk". `mcp.peek_bodies` shipped the same day because those payloads carry seller and buyer identifiers, and writing the same bodies to `~/.cache/ebman` is strictly worse than showing them to an agent — durable, backed up, collected by support bundles. A tool that withholds a body from the MCP surface while writing it to disk is incoherent. Nor would it be a restore: putting a message back means re-sending it, with a new id, reset receive count and rebuilt attributes, which is "post a similar message" and must not be described as undelete. So: metadata always (this commit), body in memory for a short undo window, body on disk only behind an explicit opt-in. And a note that "config may only say no" governs write permissions while data retention is a different axis where the safe default is closed — both are the cautious default for their own axis, and only look opposite. Two mutations CAUGHT. A third found the same gap as the previous commit: the extras builder was tested and the wiring into it was not, so dropping `dlq_task = Some(task)` left the suite green. Pinned through the real plan path — which required re-planning a delete first, because the existing loop ends on `dlq_purge`, a verb that names no single message and correctly carries neither field.

Since 0.30 that is the *row's* region, not the session's: under a `:region all` fan-out the selected environment is routinely in another region, and every write now dispatches there. Both lines of the dispatch/outcome pair carry the same region, so `ebman audit` correlates them correctly. It also records **refused** writes (`stage=refused`), which previously left no trace at all: a blocked write never dispatches, so there was no dispatched/outcome pair, and repeated attempts against a pinned environment looked exactly like nobody trying. Each line names the rule that fired (`rule=safety_config_unreadable` / `env_pinned` / `account_pinned` / `frozen` / `global_read_only` / `not_granted`) and the remedy — the specific control that would have to change. A dead-letter write additionally records `message_id=` and `task=` — which message it was and what it carried. For every other action the log can be read against the environment afterwards; for a delete the thing the log declines to name is exactly the thing that no longer exists. `not_granted` is the MCP write-scope rule: the verb was never granted by `--allow-writes`, so it is not even advertised — a client reaching it is working from a stale tool list or probing, which is worth seeing and invisible any other way. `stage=refused` is deliberately distinct from `stage=skipped`, which means a benign non-dispatch (a batch member whose environment vanished mid-run). - **Everything about one environment uses that environment's region** (0.30) — Detail's tabs, `:why`, the DLQ viewer, the lint and drift reports, and every write. Before 0.30 these used the session's region, which under a fan-out showed another region's data under the right environment's name, and could dispatch a destructive action against a same-named environment at home. - **Per-env / per-account safety pins** in `config.toml` (`safety.envs.NAME.read_only = true` / `safety.accounts.NAME.read_only = true`) refuse destructive actions even when the global `--read-only` toggle is off. These **fail closed**: a line under `safety.` that ebman cannot act on — field omitted, field misspelled, value not a boolean, or a field only a newer version understands — refuses *every* write until it is fixed, rather than being skipped. Earlier versions skipped such lines silently, so a mistyped pin left the environment writeable while the operator believed it locked. A `config.toml` that exists but cannot be read at all (permissions, a non-UTF-8 byte, a failing disk) refuses the same way; a *missing* config file does not, since there are no pins to miss. Same reasoning as the freeze marker below: where a safety mechanism cannot be evaluated, the safe reading is to refuse. Enforced CLI-side too: `ebman action` (rebuild / restart / terminate / deploy / rollout), `ebman audit replay`, and `ebman lint --fix` all refuse pinned targets before dispatch (exit 3). - **Session-scoped fleet freeze**: `:freeze-deploys [REASON]` (or `:incident START "headline"`, which sets the same lock plus a header banner and audit lines) makes every destructive op refuse until `:thaw-deploys` / `:incident END` or exit. Since 0.28 it also persists a **pid-scoped marker** at `~/.cache/ebman/freeze.json` (0600) so *other processes* honour it — the MCP write tools and the CLI write paths (`ebman action`, `audit replay`, `lint --fix`) refuse while a live TUI session holds a freeze. The pid keeps the semantics session-scoped: a crashed TUI's marker is ignored (and cleaned up) by the next reader. The check is `kill(pid, 0)` plus the process's start time: a pid that is in use but whose holder started *after* the marker was written cannot be the session that wrote it, so the marker is stale. That closes the pid-reuse window — pids are handed out sequentially and wrap, so a crashed session's marker would otherwise be adopted by an unrelated process within days. Anything the check cannot determine (no start time available, an unparseable timestamp) is treated as still-owned: a phantom freeze refuses writes and is fixed by deleting the file, whereas a lifted freeze lets writes through during a declared incident. Deleting the file remains the documented last resort. Deleting the file is the manual unfreeze of last resort. Not durable policy — it lives and dies with the TUI session that set it. diff --git a/src/cli/mcp/writes.rs b/src/cli/mcp/writes.rs index 0985d98..b164038 100644 --- a/src/cli/mcp/writes.rs +++ b/src/cli/mcp/writes.rs @@ -102,6 +102,8 @@ fn write_extras_parts( can_ask: bool, version: Option<&str>, settings_len: usize, + dlq_message_id: Option<&str>, + dlq_task: Option<&str>, ) -> Vec<(&'static str, String)> { let mut extras = vec![ ("via", "mcp".to_string()), @@ -114,6 +116,16 @@ fn write_extras_parts( if settings_len > 0 { extras.push(("settings", settings_len.to_string())); } + // WHICH message, and what it was.

It cannot tell them apart, and the default assumption — "ebman cannot do this" — is the one that gets reported as a capability gap. The precedent is on disk. On 2026-09-17 the update checker logged `current="0.36.0" latest=0.38.0` three times while a session reported gaps against that same binary. The fact existed, in the right file, with no route to its consumer. The version line in `instructions` fixed that for version; this is the fix for everything else, and the instructions now point at it before any capability is called missing. Reports the build, the client's declared elicitation support, the write surface, and standing restrictions — with notes saying what each means rather than leaving it to be inferred: that safety.read_only refuses every write and no confirmation lifts it, that a withheld message body is not an empty one, that a demo server's successes are not real. Touches neither AWS nor the filesystem. A diagnostic that fails for the reasons it exists to diagnose is not one, so it reads fields already on the server and nothing else — and answers with an unreadable config and no credentials, which is pinned. Three mutations CAUGHT, and three existing guards earned their keep on the way: the annotations table refused an unclassified tool, the golden tools/list frame caught docs/headless.md going stale in the same commit, and the pre-commit clippy hook rejected the first attempt.

All three resend paths — MCP `dlq_resend`, the TUI's single resend and its bulk resend — called `send_message(url, &msg.body)` and dropped the message's custom attributes. For a cron-style worker task that is not partial loss, it is total. This codebase already records why, in `SqsdTask`'s own doc comment: the body is the fixed literal "elasticbeanstalk scheduled job" and carries nothing, while `beanstalk.sqsd.task_name` / `.path` / `.scheduled_time` carry every fact about which task failed. It is the reason the peek asks for `All` message attributes. The resend then threw them away. Attributes are now retained verbatim through a peek — including ones an application set, which re-deriving them from the parsed `SqsdTask` would have silently dropped — and re-sent with the message. `send_message` takes them as an argument, so the old two-argument shape no longer compiles: two of the mutations I tried against this are now unrepresentable rather than merely tested against. The guard is a scan over every production `send_message` call requiring it to pass attributes, not a match against the one spelling the bug happened to have — the first version matched the literal text and a mutation passing `&[]` walked straight past it. It carries a canary, so a scan that stops finding calls fails rather than passing. Also pinned on the SDK side, through the existing mocked peek: the demo fixture supplies its own attributes and so cannot see retention at all. Inference, flagged as such: that sqsd would have had no path to route to. The attribute loss itself is not inference.

It dies with the process, by design. It changes the worst prompt in the tool. `dlq_delete`'s foreclosure now reads "ebman holds a copy in memory for 600s — `dlq_undo` can put it back — and after that nothing can" rather than "nothing here can return it". Writing that also caught the foreclosure line becoming FALSE the moment the buffer existed, which is the kind of stale claim that does most damage in a prompt someone is relying on to decide. Single-phase, unlike every other write, and deliberately: undo is the least destructive action on this surface and is reached for under exactly the time pressure that makes plan-then-confirm harmful. Requiring a plan to undo a mistake is backwards. It rides along with any write grant like `confirm_action`, since it can only ever reverse a delete that was already authorised. Honest about its limits, all pinned: only a delete captures — a resend leaves the message on the main queue so "restoring" it would enqueue a duplicate, and a purge can be thousands where a capped sample would put back some of what it destroyed and call that an undo. The restore reports what it could NOT restore: new message id, receive_count reset, enqueue time now. Three mutations CAUGHT after two found real gaps. "A resend also captures" was invisible because the test ran in demo, where the live dispatch path is never reached — the condition was written twice, so the decision moved into one function both paths call. "The window never expires" was invisible because the test never advanced time; it now runs with `start_paused` and steps over the boundary.

So the item's "worth someone picking a shape deliberately" got picked. It left the threshold open because raw space-run counts cannot separate the bug from column alignment at any N. The answer was not a better number — it was three discriminators taken from the defect's own signature: * Scan the literal's VALUE, not its source text. A correct `\` continuation contributes nothing to the value. Scanning source flagged 292 correctly-written literals. * A lost continuation collapses onto ONE line — the newline it should have carried is exactly what went missing — while real layout is inherently multi-line. Retires `--help` and the first-run banner. * Prose on both sides of the run. A column header's cells are single words, so nothing adjacent to its padding contains a space. Retires the rollout header the item named as unseparable at every threshold. Doc comments were the remaining noise: `///` becomes `#[doc = "…"]` and they are full of aligned tables. Skipped structurally, not by name. Zero false positives, no allowlist, and proven against all three real instances rather than one representative. That last part earned itself. An intermediate version had zero false positives AND missed the real defect — its "prose" test required sentence punctuation the message did not contain. I had verified it was clean without ever verifying it was useful, which is precisely how a guard that cannot fire gets shipped, and is the thing this repo keeps writing down.

It said "clear read-only mode (:readonly off, or restart without --read-only)" — correct while the session toggle was the only source of that rung, and actively misleading since `safety.read_only` shipped this morning. Following it toggles the flag, leaves the refusal exactly where it was, and does so via the one field whose entire job is naming the right control. It now names both, because the gate ORs them and the decision type genuinely cannot tell which fired. Where the source IS unambiguous — the CLI, which has no session toggle — `cli::render_refusal` names the config key alone. That arm also carried a comment asserting it was unreachable because "the CLI never sets global_read_only", which the same change made false; it was the one arm whose message never had to name a control, because nothing could reach it. Also: `remember_deleted` returned 0 rather than None when there was no queue to restore to, so a dispatch could report `recoverable_for_secs: 0` — a claim that the message was held and has already expired, rather than that it was never held. Different facts, and the second is the one an agent needs before telling someone a delete is reversible. Worth recording: the collapsed-literal guard built an hour ago caught its first real defect in this commit — an 18-space hole in the new remedy string, from the same generator that produced the previous three. It fired before the commit rather than three commits later.

The `instructions` block is the one channel an agent is guaranteed to read — it exists because clients consume the handshake and do not pass server identity through. On a server with `safety.read_only` set it said "Writes are ENABLED for every verb": true about the flag, false about the server, and the sentence an agent would plan an afternoon around before every dispatch was refused. `agent_summary` described the write SCOPE, which is a statement about the grant, while the standing restriction is a statement about what will actually happen. The second outranks the first, so it is now said first and the scope is not described at all. Same for a safety config that fails to parse, which fails closed and refuses everything. `doctor` reported it correctly throughout, which is not a defence: a tool the agent has to think to call is not the same as the text it is handed. That distinction is the whole reason the block exists.

The push-time prune exists to bound memory, and memory is only observable by looking at the buffer, so the test now does. * `send_message` could be replaced with `Ok(())` wholesale. The source scan proves every call SITE passes attributes; it cannot prove the function then sends them, and a `send_message` that accepted them and dropped them would satisfy the scan completely.

Changing the binary: a reconnect suffices. A stdio MCP server is a child process, so a reconnect must terminate and respawn it, which re-executes `ebman` and picks up whatever is on PATH. Inference from the mechanism rather than a measurement, and labelled as such — but a "reconnect" that did not respawn would not reconnect anything. A peer session also reported having reconnected after changing the binary, evidence I had in hand and did not weigh. Changing the ARGUMENTS: genuinely unknown, and that is the question actually recorded. Whether the respawn uses new argv or a cached spawn command is client behaviour nobody has established.

The TUI's own toggle cannot lift it, `ebman action` honours it, and the MCP surface refuses before a plan is issued. There is deliberately no config key that GRANTS writes — a standing restriction is decided calmly and only narrows, while a standing permission has to predict what you will need and gets paid for at the worst possible moment. Every write plan now states what it forecloses. A plan described the operation and said nothing about the stakes, which is worse than vague: it reads as complete, and a prompt that looks complete discourages the pause in which you remember what it omits. The variance across verbs is half the value — `restart` says "nothing else, no state is lost"; `dlq_delete` says the message is destroyed and how long a copy lives. `dlq_undo` makes that last claim softer than it was: a deleted message can be put back for ten minutes, in memory, never on disk. And `doctor` answers the question an agent otherwise gets wrong — a feature ebman lacks, a feature its client lacks, and a thing the operator forbade are indistinguishable from where it sits, and only the first is worth reporting. The fix that matters operationally: **a dead-letter resend was moving a husk.** All three resend paths sent the body and dropped the custom attributes, and for a cron-style task the body is a fixed literal while `beanstalk.sqsd.*` carries the entire identity. Anything resent by an earlier ebman arrived with no routing information on it. Audited before tagging: semver-checks 223/223 against published 0.40.0 as a patch, no public API or dependency changes, 131 registry commands documented, cargo-deny clean. A 90-mutant sweep over the cycle found six misses; five were real and are closed, the sixth recorded as an accepted equivalent.

That matters both ways: with redaction on, `(redacted)` is a policy and not an empty value; with it off, the agent is receiving real secrets and is itself the leak path, so the note tells it not to quote or summarise them. Raised by a peer session that noticed `redact_default = false` in an operator's config and deliberately did NOT call the tools to find out what it meant, because checking would have meant pulling the secrets to see whether they were redacted. That is the right instinct and the finding stands even though the premise turned out to be wrong: `redact_default` is read at `app.rs:1189` and governs the TUI only, while the MCP surface takes its setting from the flag and redacts by default. Nothing said so, which is the gap. Also upgrades a docs claim from inference to measurement. The note said a reconnect picks up a new binary "inferred from the mechanism". The same session had already run the experiment without recognising it: 0.38.0 running, 0.39.0 on disk, `/mcp` Reconnect, and the instructions block afterwards read 0.39.0, with no client restart. Recorded with the date and the observation.

There is not, and the reasons are worth recording because they are all outside ebman: * `/mcp` is a user-typed slash command; agents emit tool calls. * An agent could kill the server process, but whether the client respawns is client behaviour, and killing your own transport mid-call is a crash rather than a reconnect. * ebman could `exec()` itself into the new binary — same pid, same pipes — but the client believes the session is initialised and the fresh image has lost that state, and MCP has no re-handshake. * MCP has `list_changed` for tools, resources and prompts. There is no notification for "this server needs respawning". That is the missing primitive, and every stdio MCP server has this problem. So the most ebman can do is what it already does: detect the swap by inode and prepend a notice. What it can do BETTER is say whose job the fix is. The notice read "reconnect (in Claude Code: /mcp, Reconnect)", an imperative an agent will attempt and fail. It now says to ask the operator, and names the missing primitive so nothing goes hunting for a tool that does not exist. Same shape as the verb-grant wording fixed in 0.41.0, and the same cheap fix: an agent cannot tell "you cannot do this" from "nobody told you who can".

True about the SCAN — it walked the whole window — while the caveat and the field name both point at the result. An operator reading it as "that is all there was" is wrong in exactly the situation the field exists to warn about. `complete` and `truncated_by_limit` are now separate, both reported, and the caveat says which is which. The merge across log groups can truncate even when no single group did, so that is counted too. `worker_queues` on a web-tier env returned all-nulls with `peeked: false`. The flag did its job — it said "I did not look" rather than implying an empty queue — but all-nulls is consistent with a web tier having no queues, a failure reading queue configuration, and EB not reporting queues for an env that has them. The tool description names the first; a description is read once and elsewhere, which is the argument already accepted for `rules_not_checked`. A `reason` field now carries it, and a worker env with no queues reads as unexpected rather than ordinary. Three mutations CAUGHT. The reporter also confirmed two earlier fixes on live runs — `region` populated on every row, and `rules_not_checked` pointing forward on the environment that produced the original finding.

The demo path held a second copy of the intent, so the fix landed on one of them. This is the `captures_for_undo` shape again: the lesson was applied to the instance that bit rather than to the class, and the reviewer found the class. `doctor` reported `all_writes_refused: false` on servers refusing every write. `write_gate` refuses everything first and unconditionally when the safety config cannot be parsed, and again while a deploy freeze stands — and the freeze is the one rung that changes mid-connection, re-read on every dispatch. Doctor promised "the standing restrictions in force" and read neither. An incident is precisely when a triage agent calls it. An unknown tier was asserted to be a web tier. `tier` is "Web" / "Worker" / "?", and a two-way branch claimed "nothing here to read" about an environment ebman cannot classify — the same closes-the-question defect the reason field shipped to fix, inverted for the third value. The `instructions` block checked `safety.read_only` before parse errors while `write_gate` checks the reverse, so an operator with both set was sent to clear the control that was not causing what they saw. Also: demo `recent_logs` still emitted the pre-`truncated_by_limit` shape, and the truncation gloss was wrong when the page cap had also fired (a middle slice, not the newest). Four mutations CAUGHT. One accepted equivalent: the demo `msgs` gate mirrors the live path structurally but is not independently observable, because no fixture environment has messages without stats.

More than that and it's easier to do it myself — so what's the point in the tool?" A safety model that drives the operator off the tool has protected nothing. Per-action prompting fails that at four messages; a time-boxed window passes it by authorising actions nobody has described yet. The unit is neither. It is the REQUEST: one plan covering exactly the set asked for, one confirmation, dispatching exactly that set. This is a stronger injection bound than a window rather than a weaker one — everything that can happen is named in the text the operator approves, so a persuaded agent cannot act outside the list, because the list IS the authorisation. And it survives the mechanical/discretionary test that killed windows: the operator says yes to a complete description, which is exactly the yes a plan can carry. It also states the trigger rule the note never had, which a reviewer correctly called out as making the document unbuildable: every write dispatches through `confirm_action`, and on a connection that declared elicitation, `confirm_action` asks. No exceptions, no verb tiers, no first-ask-issues-a-window. The batch is what keeps one rule cheap. And it dissolves the ordering hazard the same review found. The draft had advertise-by-default shipping before the ask existed, leaving an open surface with no gate. Now the surface opens only for connections that can be asked, so the flip and the gate are one change. Deleted, and recorded so they are not reinvented: time-boxed grants, the grant marker over `freeze.rs`, TTLs, revocation on incident, `ebman grant` / `:grant`, `tools/list_changed`, and grant visibility. All answered "what happens between asks", and there is no between. Two defaults taken rather than asked: a plan too large to enumerate is refused rather than summarised, because approving an unread summary is the appearance of control; and batch dispatch continues past a failure and reports per item, because stopping midway leaves an unknown state. Layer 4 re-argued without leaning on the deleted machinery, and the open questions replaced with the two that now matter — whether a dialog can outlive TOOL_TIMEOUT_SECS, and what a declined ask records.

Mechanism 1 is the gate; this is what - makes the gate legible. Needs the client to declare elicitation. - -3. **Operator-issued grant** — `ebman grant dlq_delete --env poly-batch - --ttl 1h`, or `:grant` in the TUI, reusing the cross-process marker - machinery `:freeze-deploys` already uses, with the pid-liveness and - reuse handling solved in `src/freeze.rs`. **The fallback**, for - clients that cannot elicit and for pre-opening a window when the - operator already knows they are about to do twenty of these. - -**Corrected after the parity ruling.** An earlier draft had route 3 -making write tools "appear mid-session" via -`notifications/tools/list_changed`. That only makes sense on a server -where they were *absent* — and parity-by-default means they never are. -Two consequences, both of which shrink the work: - -- **`tools/list_changed` is not needed.** Restrictions are per - environment and tools are global, so no grant ever changes the tool - set. Nothing appears, so nothing needs announcing. It stays out - until something actually varies the listing. -- **A grant is a temporary lift of a standing restriction**, not an - addition of capability.

Per-action prompting fails that test at four messages. A +time-boxed window passes it by authorising actions nobody has yet +described, which fails a different test. + +So: *"delete messages A, B, C and D"* produces ONE plan covering +exactly those four, ONE confirmation, and dispatches exactly those +four. Nothing outside the enumerated set is authorised, and the +authority expires the instant it is used. + +### Why this beats both alternatives + +- **No fatigue.** One ask per thing the operator asked for. +- **No unsupervised future.** A window authorises actions nobody has + described; this authorises a list and nothing else. +- **A stronger injection bound than a window, not weaker.** Everything + that can happen is named in the text the operator approves.

That works today. + +What is missing is that **nothing forces the operator into the loop**. +An agent can plan and immediately confirm without ever surfacing the +plan. The protocol is honour-system, and an honour system is not a +gate. + +**That is what elicitation buys, and it is the whole of what it buys.** +At confirm time the server asks the operator directly, showing the +plan, rather than trusting that the agent surfaced it.

Under this +rule the flip and the gate are the same change: the surface opens only +for connections that can be asked, so they cannot ship apart. + +### Above a readable size, refuse + +Four messages enumerate. Two hundred do not, and a plan that +summarises — "200 messages matching X" — asks the operator to approve +something they have not read.

Composing them is nearly free and is -the right instinct — the moment things go wrong is the moment ambient -permission should lapse, not persist. - -### Visibility, or we have traded one failure for its mirror - -The flag's failure mode is *permanent and forgotten*. Dynamic grants -risk the opposite: *invisible and unaccounted*. Both are the same -defect — the operator cannot answer "what can this thing do right now?" - -So: live grants visible in the TUI (header pill or `:grants`), and the -audit line records **which grant authorised each write**, not just that -a write happened.

That stops at the first INLINE test-only item — a `#[cfg(test)] fn for_tests(...)` seam, of which this codebase has many — rather than at the test module. Measured before the fix: `cli/mcp/mod.rs` guards saw 253 of 988 production lines, `writes.rs` 489 of 1425, `tools.rs` 740 of 1734. This is the `line.split("//").next()` lesson with a different splitter, and CLAUDE.md already records that five hand-rolled scanners taught it once and it was not generalised. So: one `scan::production_half` with its own accuracy tests, excising test modules wherever they appear — not a prefix, because `cli/mod.rs` has production code BETWEEN two of them. Brace counting was tried and is wrong: a `{` in a format string unbalances it, and this codebase is full of `"{{\"pending\":true"`-shaped literals. Widening the scan surfaced a real violation that had been invisible: `doctor` read `safety_envs` / `safety_accounts` directly, which `cli_write_paths_do_not_reach_past_the_shared_gate` forbids because a path that reads the pins is one step from deciding with them. Routing it through `write_gate` then tripped the guard saying only the gates may touch the shared decision. Both were right and neither allowlist was widened — the count belongs to `Config`, which is where it now lives. Also step 2 of the runtime-grants plan: `call_timeout_secs` gives `confirm_action` a human-scale budget on connections that declared elicitation, because 30s bounds a hung socket and is nonsense as a bound on a person deciding whether to delete production data. Five minutes, not unbounded — an unanswerable ask must reach deny. The relation between the two budgets is a compile-time assert, verified to fail the build when violated; clippy correctly pointed out that two constants cannot disagree at runtime.

A client that declared elicitation now gets the write surface by default and is asked to approve every confirmation. No flag, no config edit, no client restart. This is the bargain the TUI already makes: you press r, read the confirmation, press y. The flag was never what made a write safe -- a person seeing it was -- and once the client can show you one there is nothing left for the flag to carry. Clients that cannot be asked are unchanged: --allow-writes still gates them, because on such a connection nobody is reachable. Two boundaries, both deliberate: * Standing restrictions are untouched. safety.read_only, pins, freeze and deny_write refuse as before, and no ask appears because there is nothing to approve. * An explicit narrow grant is not widened. --allow-writes=dlq_delete is an operator saying "only this", and a dialog capability is not their permission to widen it. WriteScope::None -- having said nothing -- is what the parity default fills in. "No ask was possible" is not "the ask was refused". The first cut had one non-answer state and it denied every write on every client that cannot elicit, including ones an operator had granted with the flag. NotAsked falls back to whatever gated the write before; Unanswered denies. An operator who walked away must produce a deny; one who was never reachable must not have their flag silently revoked. Batching keeps the ask affordable now that every write asks: dlq_resend and dlq_delete take message_ids up to 10, covering the set with one plan and one confirmation. Ten dialogs for a ten-message clean-up is worse than the console, because a person answering the same dialog ten times stops reading it. The confirmation enumerates -- a count is something to agree with, a list is something to read. Over the cap is refused, never truncated: dispatching a subset while reporting the whole is the worst outcome available. Ambiguous requests are refused rather than guessed -- both id forms, an empty array, a duplicate -- because a silently deduplicated list shows a count that does not match what happens. Failure is per message, and each message is audited separately: one line for five deletes would record that five messages left an environment and leave the log unable to say which, which for a delete is the only place that answer still exists. A batch where nothing succeeded is an ERROR, not a result carrying dispatched:false. isError is what agents branch on, and an unset one reads as success -- the peeked:true, messages:[] shape again. That also preserves the single-message behaviour exactly. Two defects found in self-review and fixed here rather than in a follow-up, because committing a known-broken intermediate helps nobody bisecting: * The ask channel holds a clone of the writer's sender for the whole connection, so dropping the loop's local sender left one alive and serve never exited when stdin closed -- one orphaned process per reconnect. Two subprocess tests caught it by hanging, which is the worst way to find out; mcp_serve_exits_when_stdin_closes now names the hazard and bounds the wait. * The ask waited ASK_TIMEOUT_SECS inside a call bounded by the same value, and the outer clock starts first. An unanswered ask would have returned a generic timeout and never written its rule=not_approved audit line. Split into ASK_WAIT_SECS with a compile-time margin. tool_write_plan split 346 -> 134 lines, with resolve_plan_details and resolve_dlq_plan as their own functions. They had different reasons to change and read as one only because they were adjacent.

Since 0.30 that is the *row's* region, not the session's: under a `:region all` fan-out the selected environment is routinely in another region, and every write now dispatches there. Both lines of the dispatch/outcome pair carry the same region, so `ebman audit` correlates them correctly. It also records **refused** writes (`stage=refused`), which previously left no trace at all: a blocked write never dispatches, so there was no dispatched/outcome pair, and repeated attempts against a pinned environment looked exactly like nobody trying. Each line names the rule that fired (`rule=safety_config_unreadable` / `env_pinned` / `account_pinned` / `frozen` / `global_read_only` / `not_granted` / `not_approved`) and the remedy — the specific control that would have to change. A dead-letter write additionally records `message_id=` and `task=` — which message it was and what it carried. For every other action the log can be read against the environment afterwards; for a delete the thing the log declines to name is exactly the thing that no longer exists. `not_granted` is the MCP write-scope rule: the verb is not in this connection's write surface, so it is not even advertised — a client reaching it is working from a stale tool list or probing, which is worth seeing and invisible any other way. `not_approved` (0.42+) is the other side of that: the verb *was* available, the action was put to the operator, and they declined or did not answer. It is recorded for the same reason as the rest — a write that a person stopped and a write nobody ever attempted otherwise look identical afterwards, and the first is the one worth knowing about. `stage=refused` is deliberately distinct from `stage=skipped`, which means a benign non-dispatch (a batch member whose environment vanished mid-run). - **Everything about one environment uses that environment's region** (0.30) — Detail's tabs, `:why`, the DLQ viewer, the lint and drift reports, and every write. Before 0.30 these used the session's region, which under a fan-out showed another region's data under the right environment's name, and could dispatch a destructive action against a same-named environment at home. - **Per-env / per-account safety pins** in `config.toml` (`safety.envs.NAME.read_only = true` / `safety.accounts.NAME.read_only = true`) refuse destructive actions even when the global `--read-only` toggle is off. These **fail closed**: a line under `safety.` that ebman cannot act on — field omitted, field misspelled, value not a boolean, or a field only a newer version understands — refuses *every* write until it is fixed, rather than being skipped. Earlier versions skipped such lines silently, so a mistyped pin left the environment writeable while the operator believed it locked. A `config.toml` that exists but cannot be read at all (permissions, a non-UTF-8 byte, a failing disk) refuses the same way; a *missing* config file does not, since there are no pins to miss. Same reasoning as the freeze marker below: where a safety mechanism cannot be evaluated, the safe reading is to refuse. Enforced CLI-side too: `ebman action` (rebuild / restart / terminate / deploy / rollout), `ebman audit replay`, and `ebman lint --fix` all refuse pinned targets before dispatch (exit 3). - **Session-scoped fleet freeze**: `:freeze-deploys [REASON]` (or `:incident START "headline"`, which sets the same lock plus a header banner and audit lines) makes every destructive op refuse until `:thaw-deploys` / `:incident END` or exit. Since 0.28 it also persists a **pid-scoped marker** at `~/.cache/ebman/freeze.json` (0600) so *other processes* honour it — the MCP write tools and the CLI write paths (`ebman action`, `audit replay`, `lint --fix`) refuse while a live TUI session holds a freeze. The pid keeps the semantics session-scoped: a crashed TUI's marker is ignored (and cleaned up) by the next reader. The check is `kill(pid, 0)` plus the process's start time: a pid that is in use but whose holder started *after* the marker was written cannot be the session that wrote it, so the marker is stale. That closes the pid-reuse window — pids are handed out sequentially and wrap, so a crashed session's marker would otherwise be adopted by an unrelated process within days. Anything the check cannot determine (no start time available, an unparseable timestamp) is treated as still-owned: a phantom freeze refuses writes and is fixed by deleting the file, whereas a lifted freeze lets writes through during a declared incident. Deleting the file remains the documented last resort. Deleting the file is the manual unfreeze of last resort. Not durable policy — it lives and dies with the TUI session that set it. diff --git a/src/app/tests/scan.rs b/src/app/tests/scan.rs index 2e92a41..bf86c66 100644 --- a/src/app/tests/scan.rs +++ b/src/app/tests/scan.rs @@ -498,7 +498,7 @@ mod production_half_tests { fn the_real_sources_keep_their_production_code() { for (path, needle) in [ ("src/cli/mcp/mod.rs", "fn call_timeout_secs"), - ("src/cli/mcp/writes.rs", "fn dispatch_dlq_message"), + ("src/cli/mcp/writes.rs", "fn dispatch_dlq_batch"), ("src/cli/mcp/tools.rs", "fn tool_doctor"), ] { let src = std::fs::read_to_string(path).expect("read"); diff --git a/src/cli/mcp/mod.rs b/src/cli/mcp/mod.rs index 84823ba..7575bd4 100644 --- a/src/cli/mcp/mod.rs +++ b/src/cli/mcp/mod.rs @@ -60,6 +60,33 @@ const TOOL_TIMEOUT_SECS: u64 = 30; /// to deny, never to allow. const ASK_TIMEOUT_SECS: u64 = 300; +/// How long the ask itself waits — strictly less than the budget of +/// the call containing it. +/// +/// These must not be equal. `call_timeout_secs` bounds the whole +/// `confirm_action` call at `ASK_TIMEOUT_SECS`, and that clock starts +/// before the question is even sent, so an ask given the same budget +/// loses the race with its own container.

Each copy carried a comment claiming to be "the same gate as" another one, which is what a policy looks like shortly before it diverges. It had already been missed twice. The gate was added to the live path, then found absent from why, then found absent from the demo path three commits after the live fix -- where it answered peeked:true for a web env with no queue at all, on the path agents rehearse against. The fourth copy turned up while consolidating the first three: writes.rs was asking the same question with its own dlq_url.filter(|_| dlq_stats.is_some()) to decide whether a queue could be planned against. The rule: dlq_stats:None with dlq_url:Some is the ORDINARY shape for an env with no dead-letter queue -- ebman guessed the url from the
-dlq convention and describe_worker_queues swallowed the resulting NonExistentQueue. Acting on such a url raises that error again where it reads as a fault rather than as "there is no queue". Now one answered_dlq_url, with dlq_peek_target adding the request flag so "may we" and "were we asked" are a single value -- peeked cannot be computed from a different expression than the one that chose the URL, which is precisely the peeked:true, messages:[] defect. nothing_re_expresses_the_peek_gate fails if the rule is written anywhere else, in either file. It matches decision SYNTAX rather than counting mentions, because an earlier version broke the moment clippy asked for as_ref()? instead of is_none() -- a guard coupled to one spelling is a guard that empties itself silently. It also strips comments through scan::strip_line_comment: this guard's own subject is described in prose on the helper it guards, and a raw search read that description as a violation.

CallerIdentity is an enum rather than Option so the failure has to be rendered. A plan that quietly dropped the field when the lookup failed would show nothing where there should be something, and nothing reads as fine -- rule 6 pinned by the type rather than by everyone remembering. Unknown renders as identity:null WITH identity_error, and the dialog says the identity is UNKNOWN and why; a bare null would claim there is no identity, which is never true of a call about to be made with one. Demo returns a synthetic but well-formed ARN so it renders the same shape live does. A demo that showed nothing here is a demo you cannot use to check this.

The merged block then reads as one doc that contradicts itself -- one instance opened "Named `gate_refusal` rather than `refuse_write` because..." while sitting on a function called `refuse_out_of_scope`. Three happened in the 0.40 verb-scope work and three more in 0.42, every one found by reading a diff rather than by anything that could fail a build. The comment's own shape has no reliable signature. The backlog carried a scan for it -- 19 candidates across 15 files in the 0.40 era -- and re-run against this tree, both a strict and a loose form return 2 candidates, both false positives: a lead-in to a bullet list, and a doc whose paragraphs are each one sentence. The real merges that entry named now read correctly. A guard at that false-positive rate is worse than none, as the entry itself predicted. The ROBBED half does have a signature: the original item ends up undocumented. #![warn(missing_docs)] plus CI's -D warnings makes that a build failure. Verified by staging the bug -- a new pub fn inserted under an existing doc -- and watching the robbed function fail to compile. Documents the 18 public items that lacked docs, including module docs for config and control. The CLI entry points name their exit codes, which were read from the code rather than assumed: drift's 3-vs-1 split (drift found beats degraded) and explain's 3 (no env in scope has that issue -- not an error in the rule engine, and it must not read as one) were not written down anywhere reachable from the function. Narrows the class rather than closing it: pub(crate) is most of the tree, and missing_docs_in_private_items demands a doc on every private field and helper.

A policy refusal and a malformed request were the same type, so whether a refusal left a stage=refused line depended on the author remembering to write one. The blind spot 0.37 closed was therefore re-openable by any new gate, and gates are what this cycle kept adding. Classifying the sites to build the type found it still live: tool_confirm_action's scope check refused and audited nothing, while its sibling refuse_out_of_scope had always recorded not_granted for exactly the same situation. Both are reachable the same way -- a client holding a cached tool list from a wider grant -- and that case is the reason the rule exists: probing, or a stale list, worth seeing and invisible any other way. Now audited. WriteError splits Refused from Invalid. Refused carries an Audited whose field is private and whose only from-nothing constructor writes the line, so holding one is proof the line exists. gate_refusal now takes the UNAUDITED half of the shared CLI funnel for both backends and records through that constructor, which leaves exactly one place in this module that writes a refusal line -- previously the live path audited inside cli::write_refusal, which would have let a Refused exist that this module had not recorded. The operator-decline path added earlier this cycle moves to the same constructor. Its hand-rolled append_action_refused was correct, and was also precisely the shape that made the 0.40 omission invisible: an audit call a later edit could drop with nothing objecting. This does not make the bug impossible and the entry should not claim it does. A new gate can still type a policy refusal as Invalid. What it changes is that the author must NAME which kind it is, so the wrong choice is a word in the diff rather than the absence of one -- the same way rebuild_view, the generation guards and match-arm order work. None are impossible to violate; all are made visible. The ALLOWED entry in write_refusal_paths_are_audited keeps its single writes.rs slot. Its stated reason was corrected, not widened: the unaudited half is now used for both backends, not just demo.

From 56a4b6094a6c12ba815dedba2d58779481fa67e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Baldwin Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 18:58:09 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 097/222] fix(mcp): release-panel findings, and cut 0.42.0 A four-way review panel ran against the lineup before tagging. Three findings were blockers; two reviewers found the first independently. FAIL-OPEN: a dead ask channel denied nothing. ask_operator returned NotAsked for three different situations -- the client never declared elicitation, the outbound channel was gone, the send failed -- and only the first has a --allow-writes flag to fall back to. On a connection whose write surface exists BECAUSE the client can be asked, the ask is the gate: a client that crashed or quit mid-confirm left no channel, and a terminate dispatched unapproved with no not_approved line. That is the one rule the design set for itself -- an unanswerable ask degrades to deny, never to allow. It was the collision of two fixes made earlier the same day: NotAsked was added so flag-granted clients were not denied, and the shutdown path was made to clear `outbound` so the server stops hanging on stdin close. Each is right alone. Together they made "nobody to ask" reachable from "the client vanished", where the fallback it assumes does not exist. The repo's own rule about chasing a new distinction to every call site, missed on the distinction I had just introduced. NotAsked now means only "this client never declared elicitation". Everything else is Unanswered and denies. A second, independent check at the confirm site refuses anything short of an explicit approval when the verb is reachable only through elicitation, so a future value that is neither approved nor "refusing" cannot dispatch either. BLIND APPROVALS: set_option rendered as "SetOption on api-prod" -- no namespace, key or value -- while the plan JSON showed the agent the detail. The dialog exists precisely because the operator may not be reading the agent's transcript, and set_option can re-point an environment variable at another endpoint. It now enumerates each change; dlq_purge carries the queue depth (PendingWrite gained dlq_visible); and the foreclosure line no longer claims the previous values are "shown above", true of the transcript and false of the dialog. STALE GATES: the gates ran before the ask and not after, and the dialog can stay open five minutes -- far longer than the 60s token window the original double-check was written around. A freeze declared while a colleague reads the dialog is now honoured, as safety-and-privacy.md already promised. Also from the panel: * Untrusted text reshaped the dialog. A DLQ task name is whatever the application POSTed to the queue and went in raw, so a newline and a bullet forged a batch row and a bidi override reversed the line around it -- prompt injection aimed at a person. sanitize_for_ask replaces control/bidi characters and caps length at every foreign field. The first test for it covered one call site and a mutation on the batch arm passed clean; it now discriminates at all of them. * --read-only: an MCP-scoped standing no. safety.read_only refuses writes everywhere including the TUI, which left an operator who wanted their AGENT read-only unable to say so. Combining it with --allow-writes is refused at startup rather than resolved silently. * Docs that had become false: the instructions block still told every agent writes need --allow-writes; safety-and-privacy.md still promised read-only-unless-you-opt-in, in the document read to decide whether upgrading is safe; README called MCP writes opt-in twice; headless.md said the flag gates the surface and claimed a flat 30s bound. * Three false claims in my own changelog, all caught by the panel: tool_write_plan was 317 lines in every committed tree, not 346 (346 was an uncommitted intermediate); control.rs already had module docs and the doc commit never touched it -- I asserted the outcome of a conditional without checking which branch ran; and the dialog renders "Terminate on poly-prod", not "Terminate poly-prod". Two guards learned the release sequence, which cuts the changelog and bumps the version in one commit and tags only after CI is green: unreleased_changes_are_written_down accepts a cut section when it names the version being released, and the new duplicate-section guard checks whichever section is topmost. That guard exists because the same duplicated-heading mistake was made twice by hand in one session. cargo semver-checks: 223 pass, no breaks. No dependency changed.

Both outcomes ended with the same sentence. Verbatim, from that server: timeout: not dispatched — no answer within the ask window. The plan is spent; do not re-plan the same action unless the operator asks for it. decline: not dispatched — declined by the operator. The plan is spent; do not re-plan the same action unless the operator asks for it. Byte-identical from "The plan is spent" onward. Only reason() varied. For a decline that sentence is right. For a timeout it names the operator as the only way forward -- the one party who demonstrably was not there -- so the agent is left with no legitimate move at all. The peer session that hit this reasoned its own way to "tell the human it expired" and reported having to invent the redirect, which is the tell: correct behaviour that the text did not supply. A decline is an answer and ends the line. A silence is the absence of one, and saying so is the correct next act. guidance() now diverges, and the timeout text says explicitly that this is NOT a refusal, so it is not relayed to the operator as one. The decline wording is unchanged and deliberately stays a flat prohibition with one named exception rather than a rationale about the operator's intent. The same peer reported that the pull it felt was TASK-COMPLETION pressure -- a teammate had asked it for the decline string -- not permission-seeking, and that a rationale-shaped guard ("respect the refusal") would not have caught it, because nobody had refused anything. The flat form did. That argument is now a comment beside the string. On evidence, precisely: the two strings above prove the defect was real in a shipped build, which is stronger than a mutation for that purpose. They are NOT a failing case for the new guard -- guidance() does not exist pre-fix, so the test cannot compile against it, let alone fail. The guard's own demonstration is the mutation: collapsing Unanswered back into a shared arm fails it. Both belong in the record and they are not the same claim. Also reverted in this commit: an edit I made to the demo DLQ fixture to add ten messages so its contents matched the depth it reports. That was wrong. The 12-vs-2 gap is deliberate -- a_demo_peek_reports_what_it_found asserts msgs < visible, "a peek samples; returning the whole depth teaches the shape wrong" -- and the guard failed the build and said so. The peer's "SQS short-poll samples" reading was the intended lesson; I told it otherwise before reading the test that documents the intent, and have retracted that.

Adjacency is not causation, and the peer session confirmed it could not derive one from the other -- it read the source and found `writes` is computed from effective_scope() alone, rendering the same string whether the surface was opened by a flag or by the client declaring elicitation. The plan had the same hole. `next` said "call confirm_action with the confirm_token to dispatch", which reads as a mechanical second step the agent performs. That session said it learned a human gate existed at all only because one of its calls happened to time out, and noted that an agent which never timed out would model the confirm as a formality -- and would then report a decline to its user as an ERROR rather than as a person's decision. Which is precisely what the server instructions exist to prevent. The instructions said it; the plan, read at the moment it matters, did not. The two provenances imply opposite things to tell a user. A flag is a standing grant: "I can do this." Elicitation means every action waits on someone answering: "I can propose this, and they may decline or not answer." The same string for both over-promises in one of them. doctor now carries `writes_via`. A plan says the confirmation is a request put to the operator -- but only where one will actually be asked, because promising a dialog on a client that cannot render one is the same lie pointed the other way, and a test pins both directions. Also recorded, from the same run: the descriptor's schema is not a gate. `message_ids` declares maxItems 10 and string items, and that client sent a bare integer and eleven elements straight past both to the server, which refused them in code. Client-side validation of tool arguments is optional and that client does not do it. Noted on `requested_message_ids` so nobody later drops a check as redundant with a schema that is not backed by anything.

The adverb implies a non-quiet re-plan -- one the operator asks for -- is legitimate, and the agent that read it live agreed the implication was strong. But it is an implication. It reported this as the one place it still had to reason rather than read, which is exactly the standard the previous commit was held to. It could not simply borrow the decline's "unless the operator asks for it". That clause names the absent party as the only route, which is the defect this text exists to avoid, and a test pins its absence here. "If they ask you to try again, plan it fresh" grants the exception without naming anyone as the unblock, and threads between the two failures. Observed, not inferred: the pre-change string was verified live against the running server, byte-for-byte, including that the four-line wrapped literal came through with no embedded newline and no indentation hole -- the house rule that has shipped broken twice. The agent confirmed the text handed it an action rather than leaving it to construct one, and singled out "do not report this as a refusal" as load-bearing: without it, it would have summarised the timeout to the operator as "the delete didn't go through", which is true and lands refusal-shaped.

The operator was left looking at an Accept/Decline prompt five minutes after the server had given up on it. forget_ask had already removed the pending entry, so pressing it could not dispatch the write -- safe, and exactly the problem: a prompt that does nothing teaches that prompts may do nothing, and anyone walking past that screen sees a pending approval with no way to know it is spent. On timeout ebman now sends notifications/cancelled naming the request it withdraws. It is a notification, so nothing waits on it, and a client that ignores it is no worse off than before. Second, the reply that prompt would have sent. A frame carrying an id and no method is a JSON-RPC RESPONSE, and a response is never answered. take_ask_reply does not claim one whose ask has expired, so it fell through to the dispatch and came back -32601 -- telling the client that its perfectly well-formed reply named a method that does not exist. The loop now drops it, between the claim and the dispatch, and a guard pins that order: claiming after dropping loses every real answer, dispatching before dropping answers a response. On evidence: two of three mutations caught these (a cancellation naming the wrong requestId, and removing the drop). The third -- suppressing the cancellation entirely -- I abandoned after three sed expressions failed to apply, because the property is already covered: with no cancellation sent the test blocks waiting for a frame that never arrives. Recording that I stopped rather than that it passed. Recording something else too, because it cost real time and nearly shipped: killing mutate.sh mid-run skips its restore, and a mutant survived in the working tree -- notify_cancelled disabled by an `if true { return; }`. Caught by grepping for it rather than assuming the kill was clean. The script restores on every exit path it controls; SIGKILL is not one of them.

The fix pass did what this repo's history says fix passes do. WORST SHAPE FIRST: a guard was asserting a defect. `writes_via` branched on where the SCOPE came from, but the ask fires on the client's CAPABILITY alone -- so a connection holding both an --allow-writes grant and elicitation was told "a standing grant from the operator", which headless.md tells the agent means it can act, while the plan on the same connection correctly said a person may decline. One connection, two answers, and doctor's was the false one: the exact over-promise 45b8ed0 was written to close, reintroduced by the commit that closed it. The test pinned it. That guard then did active harm. The safety reviewer FOUND this behaviour, applied the advice I had given it -- check whether a test documents something as intended before calling it a defect -- and filed it as deliberate. The skeptic called it. A guard asserting a defect does not merely fail to catch it; it talks reviewers out of reporting it. TRUNCATION HID THE OPERATIVE END OF A VALUE. sanitize_for_ask capped at 120 chars, and set_option values were rendered through it while the untruncated value dispatched. Demonstrated: https://payments.example/callback/<90 filler>@evil.example/steal shows as a benign prefix and an ellipsis, because the `@` that makes everything before it userinfo sits past the cut. The operator reads one host and approves another. Settings now render WHOLE, and a field longer than SET_OPTION_FIELD_MAX is refused at plan time -- the same rule DLQ_BATCH_CAP applies to a list, pointed at a single field: above a readable size, refuse rather than abbreviate. THE IDENTITY LINE WAS THE ONE UNSANITISED FIELD. Both code reviewers found it independently. `caller.line()` went into the dialog raw, and its Unknown arm carries an SDK error chain -- remote prose that can contain newlines, and in one traced path an agent-supplied profile name echoed back through tool_error's credential hint. The invariant this file states is "every foreign field"; that was the one slot that was not. Also widened the stripped set: U+061C reorders visibly and is_control() does not report it, and the TAG block renders as nothing at all. Three minors, all real: * notify_cancelled awaited a bounded-channel send between the ask deadline and the deny. A frozen client -- which is precisely the client that just failed to answer -- could block it until the outer timeout dropped the future, losing the designed deny AND its not_approved audit line. try_send. * The initialize audit hook gated on `elicits`, so a --read-only server read the config disk it is documented not to touch. * Refusals on a --read-only server advised "start it with --allow-writes", which is refused at startup as a contradiction. The remedy now names the flag the operator actually set, in the audit line as well as the error. Changelog: the default flip now leads the section rather than sitting fourth, and the cancellation entry claims what was verified -- ebman emits the frame; whether a client withdraws the dialog on it has not been observed.

If a server is registered bare -- `ebman mcp serve`, no --allow-writes -- and the client declares elicitation, that registration gains the write surface on 0.42. The binary swap alone changes nothing; a running server keeps the build it started with. Pressing Reconnect is what applies it. So on 0.42 a reconnect stops being neutral maintenance: for a bare registration it IS the grant. During this release's own testing the maintainer reconnected twice in one afternoon, correctly and casually, because both times it only changed which reads were available. The next one would have changed what could be written. The agent that noticed put it to its operator before touching anything rather than letting them infer it from a changed tool list. The gate is not weakened -- every write is still put to a person and a decline is final. What changed is the thing standing in front of the surface: it used to be a config edit the operator had not made, and it is now a button they press for other reasons. docs/headless.md actively said the opposite, because it was written when the flag was the grant: "upgrading the BINARY does not [need a restart] -- on a client that can be asked, this whole problem is moot." That paragraph is now a warning naming the consequence and `--read-only` as the way to keep the old posture. ebman has no channel to the operator except a dialog, and raising one to announce a capability would be its own kind of rude. The agent is the only path, so the instructions now ask it to say this once, early, before planning a write rather than after -- and explicitly say this is not a reason to stop proposing work, because "they may not know you can write" reads as "so do not" without it.

Not a defect. Parity by default is the design, and the per-action dialog is a better gate than a pre-granted flag precisely because it is specific and it fires at the moment of the act rather than hours before it. But breadth that arrives quietly alongside the narrow thing someone wanted is the same discoverability problem as the reconnect being the grant, and the note added for that said writes were available without saying how wide. It now tells the agent to name what else came with it -- terminate included -- and to name `--allow-writes=verb,verb` as the way to narrow it permanently, next to `--read-only` as the way to close it. The agent had already said this to its operator in those words before I changed anything. The text is catching up to what a careful reader did unprompted, which is the right direction for it to travel.

Tom's reaction to the agent's proposal was that it was too wordy -- the diagnosis had been settled days earlier and the agent re-derived the whole case in front of him -- and his question was whether that verbosity was a property of ebman. It is not; nothing in the tool prompted it, the plan output is terse and the dialog terser. But the agent's observation is the useful part: a per-action gate creates a slot where an agent can editorialise, and one that fills it every time makes a well-designed confirmation feel like a tax -- charged on every write. That is an adoption problem dressed as a style problem, and it is the same failure mode as asking ten times for a ten-message batch: the gate stops being read. So the instructions now say it in one line. The confirmation already carries the action, the targets, the identity and the foreclosure, and the operator is about to read it. Suggested by the agent that hit it, in preference to another feature.

The load-bearing claim of 0.42.0 is that writes are safe by default because a person answers. Nothing verified a person was there. effective_scope grants every verb on a self-reported capability bit in the client's initialize frame, and an approval recorded only can_ask=true on the dispatch line -- an ask was POSSIBLE. Not that one was put, not what answered it, not how long it took. So a framework declaring elicitation:{} and routing the question to its own model produced a CLEANER audit trail than an honest operator, which protection-levels.md calls out by name as the wrong incentive. It prescribed the fix -- "audit the ask as well (stage=asked, with the question and the answer), and never describe elicitation as 'a human confirmed'" -- and 0.42.0 shipped without it. stage=asked now carries action, target, answer (approved/declined/unanswered) and elapsed_ms. The latency is there because it is the cheapest discriminator available: someone reading a foreclosure line takes seconds, and a twenty-millisecond answer is not reading anything. Evidence, not proof, and the note is explicit about that: a false attestation is not detectable at the time. What this buys is that an honest answer and a synthesised one are distinguishable AFTERWARDS, which is the smaller and true claim. NotAsked writes nothing. A line asserting a question was put when none was is the exact false record the stage exists to prevent, and a guard pins that the exclusion is the condition on this call.

The ruling was to ship the typed confirm instead, and to apply it to dlq_purge as well. That is the more consistent answer. Both verbs are strict-typed-name confirms in the TUI -- terminate through the action menu, purge through mode_dlq's confirm_purge, which compares the typed text against the env name. Over MCP neither was: confirm_name is an argument the AGENT supplies, so the human's whole contribution to destroying an environment was one click. "Same bargain as the TUI" is the justification for writes-by-default and for these two it was not true. Both checks stay and they defend different things: the agent's confirm_name binds IT to the planned environment, and the typed field binds a PERSON to it. Neither substitutes for the other, and the tool descriptions now say so in those words. Fails closed. A client that cannot render a text field returns no content, which does not match, which denies -- so these two verbs become unusable there rather than quietly one-click. That is the right direction and it is why the refusal states plainly what happened instead of leaving an operator wondering why terminate stopped working. New AskOutcome::Unconfirmed rather than reusing Declined: nobody refused, and logging a decline that did not happen is the same class of false record as stage=asked existing to stop a self-answering client looking like an honest one. It audits as answer=unconfirmed. Matching is exact. Trimming whitespace or folding case is a convenience that erodes the only thing this step buys -- that somebody read the name and reproduced it. Near-misses are pinned in the test: "Poly-Prod", " poly-prod", "poly-prod ". Scoped to these two verbs. A typed confirm on a restart is friction that teaches operators to type past the ones that matter. STILL OWED, and recorded in PLAN.md rather than assumed away: the non-empty requestedSchema has never been exercised against a real client. The live matrix validated the zero-field form only. Verify before this ships in a tag -- the failure mode is every terminate and purge silently refusing, which is safe and would be a poor way to discover a rendering gap.

ITEM 3 -- a resend whose delete half fails. Send-before-delete is deliberate: the other order can lose the message outright while this one can at worst duplicate it. But when the delete fails, the copy IS on the main queue and the original is still dead-lettered, and the batch report calls that `ok: false` -- inviting the retry that mints another copy per attempt. The item now says RESENT BUT NOT REMOVED, that a duplicate exists, and not to resend that id. Mock-client tested on BOTH branches. The first version tested only the resend path, and a mutation flipping the verb check to `true` passed clean -- a dlq_delete whose delete fails has sent nothing, so claiming a duplicate would be a false statement about the main queue. One case per branch. Found while testing and recorded rather than swallowed: an SQS failure surfaces as the SDK's bare "service error" with no code or message. That is DeleteMessageError's Display and it affects every SQS error ebman reports, so it is its own item in PLAN.md rather than a widening of this one. ITEM 0 (partly) -- the honest limit. protection-levels.md says never describe elicitation as "a human confirmed", because the capability is a self-report in the client's initialize frame and a framework that declares it can answer its own dialogs. doctor now carries that limit in its notes, naming the specific over-claim to avoid: tell your user the confirmation was approved, not that a human approved it. safety-and-privacy.md says the same, alongside what the audit buys -- an honest approval and a synthesised one are distinguishable AFTERWARDS, which is smaller than "prevents misuse" and true. The note appears only where elicitation was declared: a connection with no ask has nothing to be sceptical about. Still owed on item 0, and recorded: script one non-Claude-Code elicitation-declaring client. The claim that asking is a known quantity still rests on n=1.

A release review kept naming that n=1, and it matters twice: the elicitation round-trip is what the whole write surface rests on, and the TYPED confirmation for terminate/dlq_purge had never been exercised by anything at all -- the live matrix validated the zero-field form only. This drives the real binary over real stdio, declares elicitation, gets the write surface with no flag, plans a dlq_purge, receives the elicitation request, asserts the schema demands a typed field, answers it with the environment name, and checks the purge dispatches. Demo mode, so no AWS call is possible. It does not replace a live client and the comment says so: it cannot tell you whether a human-facing UI renders an input box. What it does is stop the protocol half depending on one vendor. Two things caught while building it, both mine: * The token was extracted by splitting on escaped quotes and silently produced an empty string, which the server correctly rejected as an unknown token. The plan is JSON inside a tool-result text field; parse it. * The final assertion was `result.contains("dispatched")` -- and the refusal reads "NOT dispatched", which contains it. With the typed check inverted the test still passed. It could not fail for the thing it named. Now parses the result and asserts dispatched == true with isError unset. Both mutations now CAUGHT: inverting the typed comparison, and reverting effective_scope so the surface needs a flag again. Verified by hand rather than through scripts/mutate.sh, which runs `cargo test --lib` and never compiles tests/ -- the same blind spot it refuses outright for main.rs. Worth knowing before trusting it on an integration test.

It did. Measured against headless `claude -p`: it declares elicitation:true, is given writes:"every verb", and does NOT hang waiting for a human. It auto-declines the confirmation in under a second. So the feared failure -- every write stalling for the full ask window in CI -- does not happen. The real one is worse and was invisible until the measurement: ebman reported "declined by the operator" with no human anywhere in that session, and the agent relayed "the operator simply said no" to its user. A false attribution produced by the tool and repeated downstream, which is exactly the shape protection-levels.md warned about when it said never to describe elicitation as "a human confirmed" -- the same error pointed at a refusal instead of an approval. The reason now reads "the confirmation was declined". The guidance tells the agent not to attribute it and names the concrete case, a -p run or a CI harness, because an agent that knows those decline by themselves can say something useful instead of hedging. The flat do-not-retry prohibition is untouched: it is what stops a retry loop and the hedging must not soften it. stage=asked already records the latency, which is what makes an auto-decline and a human decline distinguishable afterwards -- nobody reads a foreclosure line in 200ms. Left open deliberately and now better posed: whether a sub-second answer should be treated differently AT THE TIME, or only be visible in the log. That is a maintainer ruling, and it is the stop condition this item always carried.

The open question was whether an implausibly fast answer should be refused at the time or only be visible afterwards. Maintainer's ruling: log it. No code change; this is the shipped behaviour. Recorded in PLAN.md's "Not scheduled" and in protection-levels.md so it is not re-litigated, with the reasoning and the trigger that reopens it. The reasoning, briefly. A threshold does not stop a client that means to auto-answer -- it can sleep two seconds first, one line -- so it catches only accidents, at the cost of refusing a fast human who already knows what a purge costs. And the case actually measured is an auto-DECLINE, which is fail-safe; the dangerous shape is an auto-APPROVE, which no known client does. A guessed number defending an unobserved threat while misfiring on observed behaviour is the wrong trade. It also keeps the design honest about its own limit, which that note already states: a false attestation is not detectable at the time. Latency does not change that. It makes it reviewable afterwards, which is the smaller and true claim. Reopens if a client is ever seen auto-approving. Then surface it in the result first and gate only if it proves common -- at which point the threshold comes from the latency distribution already in the log rather than from a guess. That is the argument for logging now: it generates the evidence any future gate would need.

Missing were the resend half-failure message and the note telling an agent how wide the write surface is. Also re-sectioned. Everything had accumulated under "Fixed", including a new audit line (Added) and a new requirement on two existing verbs (Changed). The unreleased_changes_are_written_down guard passed throughout, correctly: it asks whether [Unreleased] is empty while feat/fix commits exist, which is the case that actually happened before it was written. It cannot ask whether every change has an entry, and the obvious strengthening -- require at least as many entries as feat/fix commits -- would misfire the moment two commits share one entry, which is ordinary. Leaving it crude and honest rather than making it wrong in a new way; the pre-tag audit is the step that catches this, and did.

Correctness: no Critical, no Important. Skeptic: SHIP WITH CHANGES. Safety: DO NOT SHIP, and it was right. ASK_NOTE -- delivered in the instructions block at connect, before any refusal text exists -- still said "A decline is a final answer from a human... Say the operator declined, and stop." That is precisely the false record e977b19 was written to eliminate, sitting on the surface every elicit-capable agent reads first. The measured headless auto-decline would have reproduced verbatim, next to its own fix, and the changelog's attribution claim would have been untrue on day one. No test pinned the sentence; one does now. An error reply mapped to Declined. A client that cannot present a confirmation answers with a JSON-RPC error, and ebman called that a decline -- the same mis-attribution on the adjacent branch. Now Unsupported, with guidance that says the client could not show it rather than that somebody refused. Still denies; only the label changes, and the label is what an agent repeats. The previous changelog said such a client "returns no content". That is one of at least two ways it can fail and the only one handled -- a claim written wider than what was checked, which is the third time this week. stage=asked was written for every outcome but NotAsked, which included a dead channel and a failed send: frames that never left ebman. The stage asserts a question reached somebody. Those are now Undeliverable and write nothing. Also: the safety doc's heading promised "a human in the loop" fifteen lines above the bullet explaining ebman cannot know that, and doctor's elicitation note was double-JSON-encoded -- its text carried literal quotes, and the test passed because it matched a substring of the raw payload. Both tests now parse rather than grep. Two of my own test fixes were themselves wrong first: a guard checked that an exclusion existed without checking which variants it covered (a mutation dropping Undeliverable passed), and its window started at the `if` rather than the `let`, so it never saw the variant list. Both caught by re-running the mutation rather than trusting the green. Carried to 0.44, not conditions: mod.rs is 5,733 lines and the ask machinery wants extracting; the batch report is still rendered two ways demo-vs-live; and the recorded latency could be acted on rather than only logged, which is the cheaper verb-agnostic cousin of the terminate carve-out.

The EBL015 account-level pass printed "warning: EBL015 skipped" behind !quiet and returned. Every other fetch failure in that cycle goes through `degrade`, which prints the reason, keeps it for --json, and sets the degraded flag. This one set nothing. So a run whose account-level pass never happened still exited 0 if otherwise clean; `lint --baseline` would have snapshotted it, since the snapshot refusal checks cycle_degraded; and --quiet suppressed the only evidence there was. That last pairing is the mirror of the bug the degrade helper was built for -- a non-zero exit with an empty log -- arriving as a zero exit with an empty log. every_degrade_goes_through_the_helper could not catch it. It asks whether every site that DEGRADES uses the helper, and cannot ask whether every site that should degrade does. The absence had no shape for it to match. It does now: a `warning: ... skipped` written straight to stderr is refused, because `degrade` prints that prefix itself. Crude, and it cannot know which failures are load-bearing -- but it catches the one that happened, which is this repo's standard for a guard. Mutation: reverting the arm to its silent-skip form is CAUGHT, naming the line. Fixed as its own commit, before any refactoring of this function, so the fix is not laundered into a structural diff.

The pure decision helpers were all tested; the WIRING between them was not, and all three lint defects this file has shipped lived there -- including the EBL015 silent-green fixed in the previous commit. CycleReport is ARCHITECTURE.md rule 6 as a type: issues, the reasons the cycle is incomplete, and whether a fix dispatch failed. `degraded` is DERIVED from the reasons rather than stored beside them, so a cycle cannot be marked degraded without saying why and the two cannot drift -- which is how a run came to exit non-zero with an empty log. The guard now pins the derivation instead of pinning that a helper sets a flag. FIX_DISPATCH_FAILED is gone. It was a static only because the failure had no other way out of three loop nestings; the report carries it out. The cross-cycle stickiness it had by accident of being global is now deliberate and commented. run 606 -> 308 lines, with run_cycle at 339. THE PART THAT MATTERS, and the proposal understated it: extraction alone would NOT have made the wiring testable. lint builds its own AwsClient inline, so a shorter function would have been exactly as unreachable from a test. run_cycle takes a `client_for` closure -- production passes AwsClient::with, a test can pass mock SDK clients -- and the ambient state (safety config, fix disables, AWS_PROFILE) arrives as arguments so a test touches neither the developer's config nor their environment. Without that seam this would have been a readability change wearing a defect-risk argument. Two things caught by guards during the work, both mine: * missing_docs caught me STEALING A DOC COMMENT -- inserting run_cycle between `run`'s doc and `run` left the doc on the new function and `run` with none. That is the exact bug the lint was added for on Saturday, catching its author four days later. * the_extracted_gates_are_wired_into_run broke on a clippy fix that removed a `&`, because its needle carried the borrow form. Matched on intent now: a guard that fails for a reason unrelated to what it guards gets read as the guard being wrong. No behaviour change. Verified: full suite green, and the account-pass gate bypass is still CAUGHT.

A seam nobody drives proves as much as a guard that cannot fail, and the whole defect-risk argument for that refactor was testable wiring. Three tests now call run_cycle with mock SDK clients: * a region whose client cannot be built degrades the cycle, and the reason names WHICH region and carries the cause -- before this, the only way to reach that path was running the binary against real AWS with broken credentials and reading an exit code. * a partial outage reports both halves: one region failed, another answered, the cycle is degraded, and the region that worked does not appear as a failure. That distinction is what the type exists for. * a cycle where every region answers is NOT degraded -- without this, `degraded()` would be satisfied by returning true always, which a mutation confirms it no longer is. Mutations CAUGHT: degraded() forced true, forced false, and the region-failure reason replaced. Two notes from building it. The mock needs a rule per SDK call, so the test enumerates the seven the cycle makes -- which is itself a useful artefact: it is the first written-down list of what one lint cycle actually asks AWS for. And the EBL015 platform list returns EMPTY rather than erroring, because an always-degrading fixture cannot tell a degraded cycle from a clean one. Still open from the review, and not fixed here: the seam is leakier than the commit message claimed -- exit_after_drain(2) on the single-region env-not-found path would kill a mock-driven test process, audit writes still reach the real channel, and Utc::now() is ambient. Those bound what a cycle test can cover and are worth their own item rather than a widening of this one.

Reversing those creates a window where the moved arms are unpoliced, and a guard passing clean against the violation it exists to stop is a failure this repo has already shipped. the_keymap_puts_guarded_key_arms_first read src/app/input.rs by a hard-coded path. Five modes already delegate to mode_keys.rs and two more are about to, so that test would have kept passing while policing an emptier file. Worth being precise about what was actually at risk, because the architecture review overstated it: the tree-wide sweep (every_source_file_puts_guarded_key_arms_first) already covers every module matching on KeyCode::Char, so a real violation in mode_keys.rs would have been caught either way. What would have been lost silently is this test's NON-VACUITY check -- both_forms.len() >= 5 -- which is the half that notices the rule has gone quiet rather than the half that finds violations. That check is the reason the test exists separately from the sweep. Also unfounded: the review warned the collapse canary anchors on Normal-mode content and must move with it. It does not -- the canary uses a synthetic source string and survives any move. The guard now reads both keymap files and merges per-file results. Concatenating them first was the obvious approach and is not valid Rust; the parser refused it, which is exactly what its panic-on-parse- failure exists to do rather than reading as "no violations". Verified by planting the real violation -- an unguarded 'z' before the Ctrl-guarded 'z' -- in mode_keys.rs: both the widened guard and the tree sweep FAIL, naming the line.

The overlay dispatch was an if-chain of five `matches!` tests whose precedence lived in statement order, followed by the shared path. It was non-exhaustive by construction: a new Overlay variant needing its own keys relied on somebody remembering to insert a branch, at the right point, in a hundred-line block. A missed one is a dead key, or a key leaking through an overlay into Normal mode. Overlay::key_route is an exhaustive match returning an OverlayRoute. Adding a variant without classifying it is now a compile error -- the same move ARCHITECTURE.md rule 3 makes for AppMsg::generation, where the answer is a word rather than a position in a list. The refactor justified itself before it compiled: my hand-written list of the variants MISSED `About`, and the compiler named it in seconds. That is precisely the failure the if-chain made silent, found by the thing that replaces it. No behaviour change. The five dedicated handlers keep their order and their early returns; Generic falls through to the same shared path as before -- `:why` cursor navigation, the Enter and `d` drills, the universal Esc/q dismiss and each variant's extra dismiss key. `None` and `Generic` are spelled as one arm because an absent overlay always fell through too. The variants are named individually rather than caught by `_`, and a guard refuses a wildcard arm: that single edit is the one that removes the protection while still compiling. Mutation CAUGHT. The keymap extraction (moving Detail and Normal to mode_keys.rs) is the next commit and is readability, not defect risk -- kept separate because conflating the two is how a refactor gets justified by an argument that only applies to half of it.

Five modes already delegated to mode_keys.rs; Detail and Normal were the holdouts, and between them they were most of an 842-line function. handle_key: 842 -> 188 lines. input.rs 534, mode_keys.rs 842. This does NOT reduce defect risk and the doc comment says so. The 228 mutation survivors in input.rs are the arms with no test, and moving them does not change that. It is deliberately a separate commit from the exhaustive routing, which does — bundling them would let a defect-risk argument cover a change that has not earned it. ON "TEXT-IDENTICAL MOTION", which is what I set out to do and not quite what happened. Compared token streams with all whitespace stripped: `handle_detail_mode_key` is character-for-character identical. `handle_normal_key` diverges at five sites, every one of them cargo fmt normalising match-arm syntax — redundant braces removed from single-expression arms, one trailing comma added. Enumerated rather than asserted, because "no semantic change" is the kind of claim this week has repeatedly shown me writing wider than I had checked. The de-indentation also let fmt re-wrap several multi-line `matches!` expressions onto one line. Same tokens, fewer lines. The guard followed the code, which was the whole reason for the ordering: planting an unguarded 'z' before a Ctrl-guarded 'z' inside the MOVED handle_normal_key fails both the widened keymap guard and the tree sweep, naming the line. That is the check the first commit of this series existed to make possible. mode_keys.rs names its imports (DetailTab, Focus, HelpTopic, Scope, YankKind) rather than inheriting `super::*` the way input.rs does, so the module's surface stays visible.

Merging two files' results into one violation list discarded the path, so a real violation reported "keymap line 546" with no way to know which of the two files that was. The tree sweep would still have named it, but a dedicated guard whose own diagnostic sends you to the wrong place is worse than one that says less. Formatted per file now, inside the loop that still knows the path: a planted violation reports src/app/mode_keys.rs:546. The wildcard guard sliced `key_route`'s body with find("\n }"), which is correct only because every interior line happens to be more deeply indented. A rustfmt reflow could end the slice early and the check would then scan a truncated region and pass. Brace-counted now. The non-vacuity assert would probably have caught that -- "probably" being the reason not to rely on it. Review verdict on the three refactor commits: no Critical, no Important, "no behaviour change" holds. It independently confirmed the moved-code claim with a string-literal-aware comment stripper -- handle_detail_mode_key token-identical, handle_normal_key differing at exactly the five cargo fmt sites -- and traced all 14 overlay variants against the old if-chain. About is correctly Generic: it appears nowhere key-handling-related in the old code, so it always took the universal Esc/q path.

Its env name is `demo-refusal-probe-env`; src/cli/mcp/writes.rs:2874 uses `mcp-demo-refusal-probe-env`, which CONTAINS it. So whenever the MCP test wrote first, the demo test failed -- reporting, in its own words, that demo mode had written an audit line. It had not. The false failure is the dangerous part: the one thing this test exists to catch is demo mode leaking a real audit line during a real incident, and a reader seeing it fail would have gone looking for that. Matched as a whole field now (`target=`, quoted or bare) rather than as a substring anywhere in the delta. Found while running a filtered subset during unrelated work, which is why it had survived: the full suite runs a different set in parallel and the collision needs the MCP test to land first.

Verified the test can still fail for the RIGHT reason: removing the demo gate in App::deny_write is CAUGHT.

That matters because parse_audit_line treats an embedded newline as a new entry and `ebman audit replay` re-dispatches parsed entries -- an unescaped field is a replay-injection path into a destructive command. A writer now says what KIND of field it has -- Field::Text (quoted and escaped when it needs it), Field::Token (a vocabulary word consumers filter on, sanitised, never quoted), Field::Num -- and detail_from renders it. No writer touches the wire string. THREE LIVE FORGE PATHS CLOSED, not hypothetical ones: dispatched, completed, skipped and undone each interpolated `action={action_label}` RAW. The forge guard did not cover them -- its own comment records it claiming "EVERY writer" while covering three of eight, which is the failure mode of a hand-maintained enumeration. Converting them escapes those fields for the first time. append_extras was a near-copy of field_token's quote-or-not rule; extras now join the same field list and are escaped by the same code. rollout_line and append_lint_fix keep their own headers -- those line shapes carry rollout_id and a bare region where the others carry account -- but their TAILS go through the renderer, so no hand-built stage= survives in production. Wire format: unchanged for every real input, and all 82 audit tests pass untouched. Two exotic-input differences, both in the safer direction: a region or a lint value containing whitespace is now quoted where it previously was not. The acceptance test the review proposed: strip escaping in the ONE place and the forge guard goes CAUGHT -- a property the per-writer version could not have had, because there was no one place. And a structural guard so it stays a chokepoint: only detail_from may build a `stage=` line. That asks the question the forge guard cannot, which is not "do the writers I listed escape?" but "has a writer escaped the funnel?". Comments are stripped before the check, so the first mutation probe -- which put `stage=` in a comment -- was correctly NOT caught; a real hand-built line is.

Six fields were NOT conditional before it: the lint `value`, and `err` / `reason` / `remedy`, all emitted as `key="V"` since they were introduced. Real values for those fields are frequently single tokens — `value=Rolling`, `value=360`, `err=timeout` — so this rewrote the bytes of every `ebman lint --fix` line, and the commit message claimed the wire was unchanged. It also contradicted this module's own doc, which pins the lint shape as `value="V"`. Nothing in the suite could see it. `parse_kv_pairs` reads quoted and bare tokens identically, so the round-trip stayed intact and only the bytes moved; an operator grep or a log-shipper pattern matching `value="` would have stopped matching with nothing to show in a diff. `Field::Quoted` names the distinction instead of leaving it to whoever picks a variant next. The outcome/err suffixes that rollout and lint-fix still hand-built now go through the renderer too, so those two writers no longer format a wire fragment of their own. `pinned_fields_stay_quoted_even_when_the_value_is_one_token` asserts on the bytes rather than on the parse, which is the one thing the 82 existing audit tests structurally cannot do. Each of the four fields mutated back to `Field::Text` independently: CAUGHT, 4/4.

It wasn't — it was left live behind `dlq_op_detail`, so the quote-or-not rule still existed twice and the DLQ writer still bypassed `Field` entirely. The two copies were character-identical, which is why nothing diverged and also why nothing would have reported it when one of them was edited. `push_fields` is the shared half; `detail_from` is it plus the `stage=` opener. DLQ lines lead with a bare verb and have no stage, which is the whole reason they got a copy instead of the renderer. The golden wire-shape pin now drives `detail_from` and passes with its constant untouched — which is the evidence that the encoding is unchanged, not an assertion that it is. It had been pinning the copy, and the copy was the half production stopped using. Two doc comments were orphaned by b17ed71's insertion: `field_token`'s and `append_extras`'s rustdoc both slid onto the `Field` enum, leaving `Field` documented as "Append `extras` to a detail string" and `field_token` undocumented. `escape_value`'s doc listed three writers as its callers — stale, and structurally so: no writer calls it now, both quoting paths do.

It was — inside `audit.rs`. `append_raw` was a door out of the file: its own rustdoc handed the caller "the `key=value` shape + escaping", and its one caller, the red-transition health line in `spawn_refresh.rs`, interpolated the env name, the APPLICATION name and the health string raw. EB application names are far looser than env names, and `parse_audit_line` reads an embedded newline as a new, replayable entry — so the widest-charset field on the line was the unescaped one. Pre-existing, not a regression from b17ed71, and the guard introduced there could not have seen it: it reads `include_str!("audit.rs")`, and the hand-built line was in another file. `append_red_transition` is typed like every other writer, so there is no second way to reach the log and `append_raw` is gone. `no_audit_writer_accepts_a_prebuilt_line` guards the SHAPE rather than the string. Scanning the tree for `stage=` does not work — the replay READER names stages in its error messages, so the string is not the signal; a `detail: &str` parameter is. Planting `append_raw` back: CAUGHT. The forge guard also gained `append_action_asked` (never driven, though its comment has twice insisted on "EVERY writer") and the new event writer. Both proven load-bearing by a two-arm experiment rather than a single mutation, because a mutation caught by a sibling writer proves nothing about the one being added: - strip `Field::Token` escaping, `refused` and `asked` both removed -> NOT CAUGHT; restore `asked` alone -> CAUGHT. - make `append_red_transition` forge, its call present -> CAUGHT; call removed -> NOT CAUGHT. The first arm corrected me: I had claimed `answer` was the only forgeable `Field::Token` input in the tree and ran the control expecting it to go quiet. It stayed CAUGHT, because `refused` passes `rule` the same way.

From 33980eaffa43138869f89ea11e01c50e141cb37c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Baldwin Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 15:44:47 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 132/222] refactor(mcp): move the mod.rs and writes.rs test mass into tests/ MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit `mcp/mod.rs` was 5,841 lines of which 4,128 were its test module; `writes.rs` was 4,305 of which 1,655 were. Neither half could be read or reviewed as a unit. Code motion only — the 168 MCP test names are byte-identical before and after, which is the check that it was. Two different parenting strategies, for a reason: - `mod.rs`'s tests become `mcp::tests` — the same path the inline module had, so every `super::parse_write_scope` / `super::tools` / `super::staleness` inside resolves unchanged. - `writes.rs`'s tests stay a CHILD of `writes` via `#[path]`. Moving them to `mcp::tests::writes` compiled the paths and then failed on visibility: the module reaches `WriteVerb`, `CONFIRM_TOOL`, `write_verb_names`, `CONFIRM_TTL_SECS` and a dozen more private items. Making that work would have meant widening them to `pub(crate)` — paying for a file move with permanent API surface, on the module that owns the write gate. THE MOVE FOUND A GUARD THAT HAD BEEN ASSERTING ON ITS OWN SOURCE. `a_resend_sends_before_it_deletes` pins the order that stops a failed resend from losing the message. It was correct when written (8ad7066), then beae2bd renamed `dispatch_dlq_message` to `dispatch_one_dlq_message` and left the string here. The `.expect()` should have fired — except the test lived in `writes.rs` too, so the old name was still in the file it read, on this very line. `.nth(1)` returned the text after its OWN literal, which happens to contain a `send_message(` before a `delete_message(`, and every assertion passed on it. A third assertion had drifted the same way (`p.verb` -> `verb`). Moving the file is the only reason anyone knows. Repaired and proven both ways: delete the send -> CAUGHT; put a delete before it -> CAUGHT. Its `send < del` also compared `Option`s, where `None < Some(_)`, so a missing send SATISFIED the ordering check — now `expect`ed. `scan::production_source` closes the class. `include_str!` resolves against the file that writes it, so a move re-points every guard inside it, silently when the new directory has a file of the same name: `include_str!("writes.rs")` from `mcp/tests/writes.rs` reads itself. Locating by name from the crate root means the subject cannot move out from under a guard, and test sources are excluded so a guard can never be handed its own text. Ambiguous or missing names assert. `cli_write_paths_do_not_reach_past_the_shared_gate` hand-rolled its own tree walk and knew about inline test modules but not test FILES, so it reported the moved fixtures as offenders. Now through `scan::source_files` + `is_test_path`, per CLAUDE.md. Proven: a planted `safety_envs` in production -> CAUGHT; the same line in the moved test file -> NOT CAUGHT. All four repointed guards mutation-proven rather than assumed: attributes (both files), resend order (both directions), Audited field privacy, Audited constructor count.

Production halves across the module, before -> after: mod.rs 5,841 -> 1,715 writes.rs 4,305 -> 2,652 tools.rs 2,759 -> 1,862 Every `include_str!` in the MCP tests is now `scan::production_source`. Three of them had ALREADY re-pointed themselves in this commit's own move and still compiled: `include_str!("tools.rs")` from `tests/tools.rs` reads that test file, and `include_str!("writes.rs")` from `tests/tools_renderer.rs` reads `tests/writes.rs`. A guard handed its own source is the failure mode this module just produced a months-old example of, so the remaining five in `tests.rs` — correct today only because of which directory the file happened to land in — went the same way. Proven not vacuous rather than assumed: with `production_source` stubbed to return an empty string, all ten repointed guards fail. a_connection_that_was_never_asked_writes_no_ask_line a_reply_to_a_forgotten_ask_is_dropped_not_answered a_refusal_cannot_be_constructed_without_recording_it a_resend_carries_the_sqsd_attributes a_resend_sends_before_it_deletes every_advertised_tool_has_a_handler_and_vice_versa nothing_re_expresses_the_peek_gate take_ask_reply_precedes_the_dispatch the_frame_loop_times_calls_by_the_computed_budget the_typed_confirm_is_scoped_to_terminate_and_purge That is the property the move put at risk — a guard reading the wrong file passes, it does not fail — so it is the one worth testing.

Four cases added, each proven against the behaviour it pins — one mutation per branch, each failing exactly one test: - out-of-line treated as inline again -> CAUGHT - `#[path]` form unrecognised -> CAUGHT - visibility prefix unrecognised -> CAUGHT `aws_rs_keeps_the_type_declared_after_its_test_module` names the real file rather than only a synthetic fixture, so the case cannot drift away from its subject.

Now asserts it scanned something; breaking the filter -> CAUGHT. **Its exemption was broader than its own comment.** "`mod.rs` defines the shared gate" justified skipping ONE file and was implemented as "any file named mod.rs", which silently excused all 1,715 lines of `cli/mcp/mod.rs` — CLI-write-adjacent code and the largest single file the guard covers. Clean today, exempted for no stated reason. Now exactly `src/cli/mod.rs`: a planted `safety_envs` in `cli/mcp/mod.rs` -> CAUGHT, where before it was invisible; the real gate stays exempt.

That split went decorative the moment `tools.rs` started spelling its test modules with `#[path]`: it matched nothing and silently returned the whole file, tests included. Its canary still passed, because the canary only asks whether the slice found real code — not whether it found the right amount of it. `the_documented_rollout_shape_matches_what_the_writer_emits` read `audit.rs` RAW and took the FIRST line mentioning `rollout_id=ID`. If the module doc line ever went, `find` would land inside the test module and the guard would compare the writer against test text — the exact shape that hid `a_resend_sends_before_it_deletes` for months, sitting in a different file. Also converted: the two structural guards in `audit.rs`, the `PendingWrite` and SQS-visibility reads in the mcp write tests, and the five sites doing `production_source` followed by a redundant `production_half`. All re-proven after the haystack changed, not assumed: plant `append_raw` -> CAUGHT; hand-build a `stage=` line outside the renderer -> CAUGHT; emit a rollout key the doc does not mention -> CAUGHT. One probe of mine came back NOT CAUGHT and was wrong, not the guard: it planted the forged line inside `detail_from`, which that guard excises by design because the renderer is the one thing allowed to say `stage=`. `tests.rs` gains a warning against declaring `mod writes;` / `mod tools;` / `mod tools_renderer;`. Those files sit exactly where rustc would auto-resolve such a declaration, but are already compiled as children of their parents via `#[path]` — declaring them here compiles each a second time under a parent where `use super::*` resolves differently, failing a long way from the cause. `production_source` now distinguishes zero hits from many. Zero is the likelier mistake and the "qualify the suffix" advice pointed at the opposite of the fix.

The class was right — that comes from the `Debug` sniff — and the one sentence that says WHICH permission is missing was discarded at the boundary. `AccessDeniedException` names a family, not an action. Same denial now reads AccessDenied: DeleteMessage failed: User is not authorized to perform sqs:DeleteMessage Three parts, each proven load-bearing on its own rather than as a bundle — drop the capture, drop the render, or make the call site a pass-through, and both tests fail: - `AwsErrorMeta` gains `message`. It captured `code` and `request_id` and never the message, so even the one site already using `wrap_aws` lost it. - `flatten_err_to_string` renders message and request id after the operation name, and no longer drops an error whose code it does not classify: `ReceiptHandleIsInvalid` previously fell through to the `Debug` sniff and surfaced nothing. - The five SQS calls go through `wrap_aws`. The class is wider than SQS and is deliberately not swept here: 77 `.send()` call sites remain outside `aws/sqs.rs`, exactly one of them already converted, across 13 modules. That is past CLAUDE.md's three-module stop condition, so it is a backlog item with the per-file counts rather than a quiet extension of this one. Closes the follow-up recorded inside the 0.43 item 3 entry — which is also the argument for the rule that such follow-ups get their own item: it sat inside a `~~done~~` entry, where nothing scanning for open work would have found it.

Any call finished with a bare `?` or a plain `wrap_err` therefore reported the operation and discarded the sentence that says WHICH permission is missing. Measured on the main path before touching it: AccessDenied: DescribeConfigurationSettings(env) failed and after: AccessDenied: DescribeConfigurationSettings(env) failed: User is not authorized to perform elasticbeanstalk:DescribeConfigurationSettings 78 of 80 call sites took the lossy form, every one of them individually reasonable-looking — because `.wrap_err("Op failed")?` was SHORTER than wrapping the call in `wrap_aws(...)`. A rule that asks for more typing than the mistake loses. So the fix is a postfix trait: `.aws_ctx("Op failed")?` is now the shortest way to finish an SDK call, and 82 sites across 14 modules use it. Three sites were lossy in their own way and are fixed too: worker-queue discovery built its string with `{e}` on the raw SdkError, `ssm` used `map_err(|e| eyre!("SendCommand failed: {e}"))`, and S3's abort-cleanup logged `error = %e`. All now walk the chain. `every_sdk_call_that_propagates_goes_through_aws_ctx` is the point of the exercise — without it this is 80 edits that decay. It is deliberately NOT an allowlist: the rule is stated in terms of what the code does, so the three legitimate shapes fall out of it rather than being named. A discarded result has no `?`; a stored future has no `.await` in its statement; `ssm`'s deliberate `as_service_error()` inspection never becomes a `Report`. Every one of those would have needed a name on a list, and a list is what turns "the guard fired" into "add the name". THE GUARD'S FIRST VERSION WAS PARTLY DECORATIVE AND ONLY THE MUTATION FOUND IT. Its stored-future rule matched `_fut.await` on one line; `cargo fmt` splits that across two, so the rule matched nothing, the test passed, and it would have shipped as coverage. Now matched on the name, with the statement scan bounded at 12 lines so a runaway cannot swallow an unrelated `aws_ctx` and report compliance. Four arms, all CAUGHT: `wrap_err` instead of `aws_ctx`; a bare `?`; a stored future awaited without context; a stored future renamed out of the convention that lets the await half be found. `wrap_aws` drops to private — the trait is the only caller and the only face this needs. Closes the backlog item opened yesterday, which estimated 76 remaining sites. The real figure was 77 plus 5 already done, and doing them all was the prerequisite for the guard rather than scope creep.

From ee7a44ed658f6b0f72e78c0ad20f1cf6917e5c29 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Baldwin Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 17:53:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 142/222] docs(architecture): record rule 7, the mcp test layout, and drop a count that had rotted MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The pre-tag docs audit for 0.44. **Rule 7 — an SDK call is finished with `aws_ctx`.** A genuine new invariant with a tree-walking guard, so it belongs beside the other six rather than only in a commit message. The entry records WHY 78 of 80 sites got it wrong — the lossy form was shorter — because that is the transferable part: a convention costing more keystrokes than the mistake it prevents loses regardless of documentation. **Rule 4's character list was wrong, and had been before this cycle.** It named "six characters (`r g y ] [ k`)". Re-deriving it by hand produced three different answers depending on whether "carries both forms" meant any guard or a modifier guard, and whether the two arms had to sit in the same `match`. Since that ambiguity is precisely why the rule needs a `syn` parser rather than a sentence, the sentence no longer tries to name a number — it points at the guard. Verified stale at v0.43.0 too, so not a regression from this lineup; fixed anyway rather than left as precedent. **The Testing section knew about `src/app/tests/` and not `src/cli/mcp/tests/`**, and said nothing about the `#[path]` attachment that keeps two of those modules children of what they test. That distinction is load-bearing — re-parenting them would have cost `pub(crate)` on a dozen private items — and so is the `production_source`-not-`include_str!` rule that came out of it. Audited and found clean: all 8 `docs_drift` gates; the command registry (131 entries, every one documented, both directions); the handled keycode set (byte-identical to v0.43.0, which also independently corroborates the keymap move was lossless); README's `:rollback` claim; `development.md`, `fonts.md`, `safety-and-privacy.md`.

An empty stack map makes every staleness check return "nothing to say", so CI without `ListAvailableSolutionStacks` exited 0, printed nothing under `--quiet`, and `--baseline` would have snapshotted it as good. The guard added alongside the EBL015 fix could not see it. It matched ONE LINE containing both `warning:` and `skipped` — which is how the EBL015 instance happened to be written, and is not how rustfmt writes a hundred-character string. It now reads statements. Proven against both shapes: one-line CAUGHT, wrapped CAUGHT. **`aws_ctx` made the SSM failure message strictly worse.** `aws_ctx` returns a Report whose plain `Display` is the outermost wrap only, so `format!("{e}")` rendered the literal "SendCommand failed" where the `eyre!("SendCommand failed: {e}")` it replaced had at least reached "service error". The same commit fixed this exact shape in `s3.rs` and missed `ssm.rs`. Writing the test found a third instance: when EVERY chunk fails — the common shape for a permissions problem — the all-failed branch discarded the per-instance detail it had just collected, so the path most likely to be hit by a missing IAM action explained the least. **The NonExistentQueue swallow only ever worked in tests.** `describe_worker_queues` substring-matched a rendered chain for `NonExistentQueue`; SQS's typed `QueueDoesNotExist` variant does not render its own wire code, so against real AWS the match never fired and every worker env with a missing derived DLQ failed discovery. The fixtures built the error with `::generic`, producing `Unhandled`, whose rendering DOES contain the code — the fixture and production disagreed about the shape and the test agreed with the fixture. The `aws_ctx` sweep put the code into the chain and switched the swallow on by accident. Measured rather than assumed: the chain without the metadata layer contains no `NonExistentQueue` anywhere. Now read by code via `aws::error_code`, with a test driving the typed variant, and recorded in the CHANGELOG as the behaviour change it is. Also from the review: - `wrap_aws` inlined into `aws_ctx` — one caller, duplicated 6-line `where` clause — and the now-dead `wrap_aws` clause removed from the guard, where it meant a call site could comply by calling a function nothing calls. - `AwsErrorMeta`'s `Display` and `flatten_err_to_string` were two hand-built copies of the same tail with no test pinning them to agree; they now share `detail_after`. - `demo_mode_refuses_without_writing_an_audit_line` claimed "NO audit lines" while only rejecting `target=`. The earlier collision fix removed the false positive and the property with it; boundary matching keeps both. A leak under `env=` -> CAUGHT. - Nine more guards hand-rolled their test-module stripping, six with the prefix-truncation bug `production_half` exists to replace — in one case directly below a comment narrating that same bug. All on `production_source` now; the class is gone from `src/`. - Stale module doc in `aws.rs` and a `wrap_aws` reference in `app.rs`.

No test can cover a path that kills the test binary, so the single most likely `ebman lint --env X` mistake was the one branch the seam could not reach. `run` owns the exit now; the cycle reports `usage_error`. Same message, same exit code 2. `chrono::Utc::now()` was read inside the cycle and handed to EBL015, whose staleness threshold is date-dependent — so the account-level pass could not be tested at a fixed time. `run` already computed `cycle_started` and now passes it. The test harness hardcoded all fourteen arguments, which is why the seam's tests drove the region loop and nothing else. `CycleOpts` lets a test set the knob it cares about; `run_with` keeps working for the cases that want defaults. Two tests that could not previously exist: an unknown env under a single context is a usage error and NOT a degraded cycle (a typo is not "the fleet was not seen"), and the same mistake under multi-region stays a warning because the env may live in another region. Both CAUGHT under mutation. My own commit message for the extraction claimed it made the cycle testable. That was wider than what shipped, and this is the first instalment of making it true.

The point was never the line count. `run_with` hardcoded `fix = false`, so the refusal accounting and `fix_dispatch_failed` were exactly as unreachable after the extraction meant to expose them as before it — the flag was asserted once in the whole suite, as `false`. Three tests now drive it: - a rejected `UpdateEnvironment` fails the cycle and does NOT degrade it (the fleet was seen; a refused write is not incomplete coverage) - a preview dispatches nothing and cannot fail the cycle - a safety-pinned env refuses, and the refusal counts as a failure only on a real run THE EXTRACTION INTRODUCED A BUG AND CLIPPY FOUND IT. Inline, the refusal path was `if yes { fix_dispatch_failed = true }`. Moving it behind a return turned that into an unconditional `return true`, which would have made a refused `--dry-run` exit 1 — a preview reporting that it failed to do something it was never going to do. `-D warnings` caught it only as "value assigned is never read". Nothing in the suite would have: the preview test passes without ever entering the refusal branch, because with no `--yes` the planner stops before it. That mutation came back NOT CAUGHT, which is the only reason the third test exists. A single arm would have looked like coverage. The fixture needed real option settings to have anything to dispatch — an empty settings response yields issues with no `SetOption` fix, which reaches the planner and stops. So `client_with_failing_update` now returns the `AllAtOnce` + `MaxSize=4` pair EBL001 fires on.

Those warnings were `eprintln!`ed behind `!quiet` and dropped. The cycle stayed undegraded, so `ebman lint` exited 0, `--watch` did not page, and `--baseline` snapshotted a run whose stale-platform check never ran for that branch -- and `--quiet` erased the only evidence it had happened. They now go through `CycleReport::degrade`, like every other incomplete-coverage reason in the cycle. THIS IS 0.44's SILENT-GREEN BUG, ONE LEVEL DOWN. 0.44 fixed the failure of the account-level pass as a WHOLE and left the per-branch failure twenty lines above it in the same match, with a comment on the Err arm naming `--quiet` erasing the evidence as a lesson already learned. The introducing commit (1a36ccf) claimed "No behaviour change" apart from the fixes it named; this path was never considered. `every_degrade_goes_through_the_helper` cannot catch the class -- it checks that sites which DO degrade use the helper, and is blind to one that should and does not. The comment at the Err arm already said so. Nothing in the suite could see it either: `run_with_opts` passes `quiet: true`, so the print this replaces never ran under test at all. The mock fleet grows a `MockFaults` struct rather than a second positional bool -- one custom platform whose date probe is rejected, everything else answering, so a degraded cycle here can only have come from the EBL015 probe. Two mutations CAUGHT: - `report.degrade(w);` -> `let _ = w;` (the fix itself) CAUGHT: a_partly_failed_platform_pass_degrades_the_cycle FAILED - `for '{branch}'` -> `for 'x'` (the reason must name the branch) CAUGHT: a_partly_failed_platform_pass_degrades_the_cycle FAILED The discriminating case is the pre-existing `a_cycle_where_every_region_answers_is_not_degraded`: same mock, no fault, asserts NOT degraded. A first draft of this work added a second clean-cycle test; it was a duplicate of that one and was dropped.

The 0.44 architecture review had named THREE side channels inside `run_cycle`; two were closed after the entry was written (c50a490, 8985966) and the third was not. That fact existed in one commit message and nowhere else -- not PLAN.md, not BACKLOG.md, not docs/. Grepping all three for "side channel" returned nothing. This is exactly what CLAUDE.md warns about: a follow-up recorded inside a completed entry is invisible, because anyone scanning for `- [ ]` misses it. So it gets its own open item. The item is deliberately NOT scoped as one piece of work. The two print sites in `run_cycle` are mechanical; the seven in `apply_fixes_for_env` are interactive `--fix` output and need a design ruling (rendered lines, a typed event stream, or a writer?) rather than a guess mid-run. Recorded with it: chasing this class on 2026-09-24 turned up a live bug at lint.rs:1089, fixed in the preceding commit. Three defects have now shipped in this function's output wiring, which is the argument for closing the channel rather than leaving it as a tidiness item.

The promise sat inside a struck-through heading, which reads as done whatever the body says -- the third buried follow-up found in this file this week. Verified 2026-09-25 against Claude Code with the operator at the keyboard, through the --demo dev registration (the ask runs before the demo branch, so the dialog is real and the dispatch synthetic): - dlq_purge poly-batch, name typed correctly: a text field rendered, the prompt named the env, the operator typed it -> dispatched - same, typed "poly-batc" and approved -> refused as `unconfirmed`, "Nobody declined" -- not `declined` The pair is what makes it evidence: the happy path alone cannot tell a typed name from an auto-filled one. Scoped as checked: one client, one verb. `terminate` takes the same `typed` arm but was not driven live. Also opens an item found while setting this up: no `stage=asked` line has ever landed in the real audit log. Explained so far -- demo writes no audit lines, and the only real MCP write on record ran 0.42.0, before the stage shipped in 0.43.0 -- but the "record latency, do not gate on it" ruling rests on a record only ever observed in tests.

So a real AWS account ID pasted as a fixture is published, indexed and permanent -- and a reviewer reads it as "12 digits, test file, fine", especially beside genuine placeholders. `no_published_file_carries_a_real_looking_account_id` scans every tracked file -- `git ls-files`, which is what `cargo package` ships (verified: they differ only by the two files cargo generates). Not `source_files()`: that is `src/**/*.rs`, and CHANGELOG.md, which carries field reports from real fleets, is a likelier leak than any test. The detector (`account_id_candidates`) was shaped by what the tree already held, not by the backlog spec alone: - an ALPHANUMERIC boundary, because the spec's bare-12-digit rule fired on 16 Cargo.lock checksums (digit runs inside hex) - repdigits are never candidates, because the tree uses them as obvious fakes and nobody mistakes one for a real value -- a rule about shape, not an allowlist entry - the allowlist stays AWS's five documentation IDs - no separate ARN check: an ARN's account field is twelve digits between `:`s, which the digit rule finds; a test pins that it does The failure message MASKS the value (`12...34`). Printing it would put a leaked account ID into a public CI log. `tracked_files()` is extracted from `no_backup_or_scratch_files_are_ tracked` rather than copied, carrying its no-repo skip (the `cargo mutants` scratch copy), `LC_ALL=C` and floor. Both packaging guards now share it. On its first run the guard flagged its author: a doc-comment example spelled out a plausible value. The detector's fixtures are assembled from four-digit pieces for exactly that reason; the comment was not. The archive note then did it again with the RFC 4122 example UUID and was caught before commit. Nine mutations CAUGHT (scripts/mutate.sh, each proven applied): M1 plant a value in a tracked .rs fixture -> no_published_... FAILED M2 plant a value in CHANGELOG.md -> no_published_... FAILED M3 drop the alphanumeric boundary -> digits_inside_a_larger_word... FAILED M4 drop the repdigit rule -> repdigits_are_not_candidates FAILED M5 drop the AWS placeholder list -> aws_documentation_placeholders... FAILED M6 accept runs longer than twelve -> digits_inside_a_larger_word... FAILED M7 mask returns the value -> a_masked_id_locates_without_leaking FAILED M8 empty git listing -> BOTH packaging guards FAILED M9 mask threshold for short input -> a_value_too_short_to_mask... FAILED M2 is the case `source_files()` could never reach. M8 proves the older guard really goes through the extracted helper and its floor. Known limit, recorded in the archive: a UUID's last segment can be twelve digits. Nothing in the tree has one; if one arrives, teach the detector the UUID shape rather than listing the value.

The name was scrubbed in 0.38.0 and again in 1a9ed59; these two copies were written the day after that fix, and published in 0.43.0 and 0.44.0 (runtime-grants.md from 0.41.0). Replaced with neutral wording. This stops it reaching another release; it does not remove it from history or from the published crates, which are separate decisions.

One client's name was scrubbed in 0.38.0 and again on 2026-09-18 (1a9ed59), then written back into PLAN.md and a design note the next day by agent sessions citing that client's fleet as evidence, and shipped in 0.41.0 through 0.44.0. It happened a third time today, caught before push. `no_tracked_file_names_a_protected_client` scans every tracked file for a list of names, case-insensitively and inside words (`-prod`, `'s`, `_truth.txt` are the shapes that leaked). The list cannot live in the repo -- that would publish exactly what it protects. So: - locally: `.protected-names`, gitignored AND in Cargo.toml `exclude` - CI: the EBMAN_PROTECTED_NAMES secret, at workflow level so every job running `cargo test` sees it; needed as a Dependabot secret too, since Dependabot PRs do not get Actions secrets - the guard FAILS if the list file is ever tracked - with no list it passes on a contributor's machine but FAILS in CI, where an empty list would make it vacuous - `tracked_files()` runs first, so the `cargo mutants` scratch copy (no .git) skips before a list is required - failures report `path:line: protected name #k`, never the name, which would otherwise land in a CI log - a name under four characters is an error, not a silent skip Verified with a random name absent from the tree, each with a clean control that PASSES first: E1 CI=true, no list -> FAILED (baseline without CI passes) E2 list via env, nothing planted -> passes (control) E3 list via env, planted in CHANGELOG -> CAUGHT E4a list via file, nothing planted -> passes (control) E4 list via file, planted in a .rs -> CAUGHT E5 the list file tracked -> FAILED on the tracked assertion The first run of E3/E4 used "zorblax" and both reported CAUGHT -- but the control failed too: the guard's own unit-test fixtures use that word. Without the control, two meaningless CAUGHTs would have been reported. Re-run with a generated name. Parser/matcher, six mutations CAUGHT: drop the min-length error, stop skipping comments, stop case-folding the scanned line, stop splitting on commas, stop de-duplicating, stop lower-casing the list. With the real list present locally: clean tree passes; a planted mixed-case variant is CAUGHT.

Remaining: - - - `doctor` and the docs must never describe elicitation-approved as - "a human confirmed" — the honest phrasing is that the client said - it would ask. - - **Script one non-Claude-Code elicitation-declaring client.** The - whole "asking is a known quantity" claim rests on n=1. This is the - same twenty minutes item 2 gets, and it is worth more. - - Note for whoever picks this up: item 1 is **no defence here.** A - self-answering client types an environment name back as readily as - it clicks. Name-back defends against a rubber-stamping human, which - is a different threat. - -1. ~~**Terminate name-back parity**~~ — **done 2026-09-19**, and widened to `dlq_purge` on the maintainer's ruling: both are strict-typed-name confirms in the TUI, so both are now typed over MCP. Fails closed on a client that cannot render a text field. ~~**Still owed: the live verification**~~ — **done 2026-09-25, after it had shipped in 0.43.0 and 0.44.0 without it.** The entry said "do that before it ships in a tag" and two tags went out anyway: the promise sat inside a struck-through heading, which reads as done whatever the body says. - - Exercised against Claude Code with a person at the keyboard, via `ebman-dev` (`mcp serve --demo`: the ask at `writes.rs:2173` runs before the demo branch, so the dialog is real and the dispatch synthetic). Two cases, because the happy path alone cannot tell a typed name from an auto-filled one: - - - `dlq_purge poly-batch`, name typed correctly → a text field **rendered**, the prompt named the env, the operator typed it, `dispatched`. - - Same, typed `poly-batc` and approved → refused as **`unconfirmed`** ("Nobody declined"), not `declined`. - - So the field renders in this client and the typed value is load-bearing. **Scope of that claim:** one client (Claude Code), one verb (`dlq_purge`). `terminate` takes the same `typed` arm (`writes.rs:2168`) but was not driven live. Nothing is known about other clients' rendering beyond the scripted client in item 0. - -- [ ] **No `stage=asked` line has ever landed in the real audit log.** Found while - setting up the verification above: `~/.cache/ebman/audit.log` holds zero, ever. - Explained, not broken, as far as it was checked: demo suppresses every audit - write (`writes.rs:2188`, and `Audited::record` at `:1017`), the dev - registration is `--demo`, and the only real MCP write on record (a production - `sqs-delete`, 2026-09-19 22:08, `dispatched`+`completed`, no `asked`) ran a - 0.42.0 build — the stage first shipped in 0.43.0 (`b7e4ced`). But the "Not scheduled" latency ruling rests on - *"`stage=asked` records the latency"*, and that has only ever been observed - in tests. One non-demo confirm, even a decline, settles it. - - *Original entry, for the reasoning:* - - In the TUI a human types the environment name back before a - terminate. Over MCP `confirm_name` is supplied by the AGENT, so the - human's whole contribution to destroying an environment is one - click. "Same bargain as the TUI" is the justification for - writes-by-default, and for this one verb it is not true. - - Elicitation supports the missing gate: a `requestedSchema` with a - required string property, validated against the env name, refusing - on mismatch. - - **The ordering is the point.** A non-empty `requestedSchema` is - client behaviour nothing has exercised — the live matrix validated - the zero-field form only. So: prototype the schema, verify against a - real client, THEN ship. Shipping it untested would repeat the exact - sin 0.42.0 spent a day correcting. - - Fails closed if a client cannot render it: no typed field means no - match, which refuses. That is the right direction, and it is also - why this must be measured — a silent refusal of every terminate is a - poor way to discover a rendering gap. - -2. ~~**The headless configuration**~~ — **measured 2026-09-20, and - the measurement changed the fix.** `claude -p` declares - `elicitation: true`, gets `writes: every verb`, and does **not** - hang: it auto-declines a confirmation in under a second. - - So there is no availability problem — and a worse one. The reply - was recorded and reported as *"declined by the operator"* with no - human anywhere in the session, and the agent relayed "the operator - simply said no" to its user. A false attribution, produced by the - tool, repeated by the agent. - - Fixed: nothing now claims a person answered. The reason reads "the - confirmation was declined", and the guidance tells the agent not to - attribute it, naming `-p` and CI harnesses as the concrete case. - The flat do-not-retry prohibition is unchanged. - - `stage=asked` records the latency, which is what makes the two - distinguishable afterwards — a sub-second decline is not somebody - reading a foreclosure line. - - **Ruled 2026-09-20: log it, do not act on it.** No code change; this - is the shipped behaviour. See "Not scheduled" for the reasoning and - the one thing that would reopen it. - - *Original entry:* - - `claude -p` and CI harnesses use the same client binary and - plausibly declare the same capability with no human to render to. - For those, every write waits out the ask window and then denies — - including writes an operator explicitly granted with - `--allow-writes`, because the ask fires on capability alone. - - The tag notes state this as untested rather than claiming it works. - Twenty minutes with `claude -p` settles it. If it reproduces, the - fix is not obvious and is a **stop condition**, not a small item — - an autonomous run must measure and then stop, rather than reach for - a flag design: - possibly a startup flag asserting no human is present, possibly - honouring the flag as its own gate when the ask cannot be delivered. - **Measure first; the answer changes which.** - -3. ~~**A resend whose delete half failed**~~ — **done 2026-09-19.** - The item reports `RESENT BUT NOT REMOVED`, says a duplicate now - exists, and tells the agent not to retry that id. Mock-client - tested both branches: a delete-half failure on `dlq_delete` must - NOT claim a duplicate, because nothing was sent. - - ~~**Found while testing, not yet fixed:** an SQS failure surfaces as - the SDK's bare `"service error"`~~ — **done 2026-09-22.** Measured - before touching anything: a mocked IAM denial on `delete_message` - rendered as `AccessDenied: service error`. The class was right and - the sentence naming the missing permission — `sqs:DeleteMessage` — - was gone. - - `AwsErrorMeta` now carries the service's `message` alongside the - code and request id, `flatten_err_to_string` renders it, and the - five SQS calls go through `wrap_aws`. Same denial now reads - `AccessDenied: DeleteMessage failed: User is not authorized to - perform sqs:DeleteMessage`. An unclassified code (`ReceiptHandle - IsInvalid`) reaches the operator too, where it previously fell - through to the `Debug` sniff and surfaced nothing. - - All three layers proven separately — drop the capture, drop the - render, or make the call site a pass-through: CAUGHT each time. - - **The class is wider than SQS and was left alone deliberately.** 77 - `.send()` call sites outside `aws/sqs.rs` still take the bare `?`, - exactly one of which is already converted. 13 modules is past the - stop condition; it is now its own backlog item with the per-file - counts. - - *Original entry:* - - `dispatch_one_dlq_message` sends before deleting, deliberately.

It is: **say what levels still buy -after 0.42.0.** Plausible answer — something for headless CLI -principals, approximately nothing for an elicitation-capable MCP -connection where every write already asks and pins already refuse. -"Killed by evidence" is an outcome this file celebrates; parts of -stage 5 are candidates, and pretending otherwise guarantees the -thrown-away work the stages section exists to prevent. - -### The protection-levels stages, in order - -*Stages 1-4 and 4b are done. Stage 5 (levels + the `Decision` type) was -blocked on the elicitation data stage 3 instruments — the ladder's -middle rungs are defined in terms of asking, and 4b deliberately did -not prejudge them. **That block lifted on 2026-09-19**: 0.42.0 shipped -the ask and its behaviour is measured, not assumed. See "Then" above.* - -The design note is agreed in principle. What follows is the -implementation order, and the ordering is the important part: the -reviews showed that doing these in the obvious sequence produces work -that has to be thrown away. - -Each stage must be independently shippable and useful even if the next -one never happens. If that stops being true, the stage is wrong. - -1. ~~Converge the two write gates~~ — **done 2026-09-09.** - - `cli::write_refusal` and `App::read_only_reason` are separate - implementations over different inputs, and `src/config.rs` documents - the divergence as deliberate. Nothing shared with pgman is possible - until there is one decision function. - - Done means: one function over a fully-materialised context — no - ambient `AWS_PROFILE` read, no clock, no `App` — with the TUI's - session gates (global read-only, freeze, demo mode) expressed as - context rather than as a second implementation. Toast wording stays - where it is; only the *decision* converges. - - Guard it: the existing check catches half-composition in `src/cli`, - not a path that calls neither gate. A dispatch site that reaches - neither should fail a test. - - `src/write_gate.rs` holds `decide(&WriteContext) -> Option`: - values only, no `App`, no `Config` methods, no `std::env`, no clock. - Both `cli::write_refusal` and `App::read_only_reason` now consult it - and render the result in their own voice — the TUI keeps the freeze - age and the `:incident END` hint, the CLI keeps `refusing ENV — - pinned by …`. Converging the messages too would have been a visible - regression for no benefit. - - The converged precedence (global → freeze → env pin → account pin) is - the union of both, and preserves each: the CLI never sets the global - rung, so its old order is untouched. - - `Config::pin_reason` is gone — it was the third implementation. Its - tests moved: the precedence cases to `write_gate`, and the replay one - ported to go through `write_refusal`, which pins the path it claims - to rather than a helper. - - Five mutations CAUGHT, and two of them were the interesting ones. An - account pin applying with no profile resolved was NOT caught until - the fixture gained an empty-string account key — a malformed config - line produces one, and without it the bug's lookup simply misses. And - the CLI guard could be blinded entirely with the suite staying green, - because it only ever fired if someone introduced a violation; it now - carries a canary that proves it detects on every run. - -2. ~~Emit MCP tool annotations~~ — **done 2026-09-09.** - - `readOnlyHint` / `destructiveHint` / `idempotentHint` / - `openWorldHint` on every tool descriptor. Verify the field names - against the current spec revision first. - - `src/cli/mcp/annotations.rs` holds one table classifying all 14 - tools, applied in `tool_table` rather than at each descriptor so a - guard can check the table against what is actually advertised. - Verified on the wire by driving the real server over stdio in both - modes: 14 tools, 0 unannotated. - - The classification that took the most thought is `confirm_action`, - annotated at its **worst case** — it dispatches whatever is pending, - which may be a terminate, so a client trusting `destructive: false` - would skip the prompt on exactly the call that needs one. It is also - the only non-idempotent tool: its token is single-use. - - `restart`, `deploy` and `set_option` are deliberately NOT destructive. - Flagging everything teaches clients to ignore the flag. - - Five mutations CAUGHT. As intended, the table doubles as stage 4's - action vocabulary. - -3. ~~Specify `ask` per surface~~ — **decided 2026-09-09, and instrumented.** - - Not code: a decision, written down, about what `ask` means on TUI, - CLI and MCP, and what it degrades to when the transport cannot carry - it. MCP degrades to *deny*, never to allow. - - This is deliberately ahead of levels. `guarded` and `trusted` are - defined in terms of asking; a ladder whose middle rungs cannot be - expressed over the primary agent transport is sugar over nothing. - - The decision is in the design note. The part worth repeating here: - elicitation is a CLIENT capability declared at `initialize`, so - whether `ask` is expressible is knowable per connection rather than - assumed. ebman was throwing that field away; it now captures and logs - it, and nothing branches on it yet. - - **The instrument was dead until 2026-09-18, and stage 5 was waiting - on data it could never receive.** Every subcommand returns from - `main` before `init_logging` — deliberate, and correct for a flag - that prints and exits, but the MCP server is a daemon. The whole - subcommand surface held exactly one `tracing::` call and it was this - one. A probe declaring elicitation support moved the log by zero - bytes. `mcp serve` now initialises file logging (`setup` does not — - it promises it writes no files); the same probe now records - `elicitation=true`, and a plain client `elicitation=false`. - - So the count starts at zero on 2026-09-18, not at the stage-3 date. - Nothing observed before then was recorded anywhere. - - **The stop condition is now instrumented rather than hypothetical.** - If the logs show almost no client declaring elicitation, the ladder's - middle rungs collapse to deny and stages 4–5 need re-planning — but - that will be a conclusion from data, not a guess. Three mutations - CAUGHT on the detector, including one that would have made every - client look incapable. - -4. ~~Audit every refusal, with its rule and its remedy~~ — **done - 2026-09-09.** Re-scoped; see below. - - `stage=refused` lines across all four enforcement funnels: the TUI's - `deny_write` / `deny_write_batch`, and `cli::write_refusal` behind - `ebman action`, `action rollout`, `audit replay`, `lint --fix` and - both MCP write phases. Each names the rule (`env_pinned`, - `account_pinned`, `frozen`, `global_read_only`) and a remedy naming - the exact config key. - - The near-miss is now visible: an agent attempting `terminate` on a - pinned prod leaves a line per attempt instead of nothing. - - Wired at four funnels rather than ~25 dispatch sites, which the - existing `cli_write_paths_do_not_reach_past_the_shared_gate` guard is - what makes safe. `read_only_reason` split into `refusal_for` (typed) - and `render_refusal` (wording) — the audit needs the rule name, and - rendering is exactly what discards it. - - Eight mutations CAUGHT across the two halves. - - **Re-scoped: the obligations channel moves into stage 5.** Stage 4 as - written also carried `Decision { outcome, obligations }` and a - correlation id. Both were deferred *because nothing produces or reads - them yet* — the first obligation ("allow, but type-to-confirm") - arrives with the levels, and a channel with no producer is the - dead-field defect this repo has now hit three times in one day - (`client_supports_elicitation` written and never read; a client cache - added that nothing read; `pin_reason` as a third gate). Adding it - early would not have made stage 5 cheaper; it would have shipped a - plausible-looking struct field that no test could fail on. - -4b. ~~Verb-scoped `--allow-writes`~~ — **done 2026-09-18.** Taken - ahead of stage 5, on evidence. - - `--allow-writes=dlq_resend,dlq_delete` grants those verbs and - nothing else. Not in the original order; it went in front of the - levels because the coarse flag had stopped being a design concern - and started blocking a real grant — a field session declined to ask - for write access rather than accept terminate-on-Prod as the price - of deleting one dead-lettered message. - - Half a day against stage 5's two weeks, and it prejudges nothing: a - named level later compiles down to a verb set. Pure ceiling, so - Principle 5 holds trivially — a server flag, not request content. - - The operator ruling that shaped it: a **uniform** grant, no tiered - ceremony per environment. Demo is not a lesser Prod when a client is - watching it, and a ladder that says otherwise teaches operators to - click through the cheap rungs. - - Two defects, both found by guards rather than by review — worth - noting because both were in the new work and both read as fine: - `confirm_action` was being filtered out of a narrow grant (every - narrow grant could plan a write and never dispatch one), and `mcp - setup` had been advertising five write verbs since the three DLQ - ones shipped. Both lists are now derived; a `docs_drift` guard pins - the third. - - Eleven mutations CAUGHT, two of which were only caught after the - first attempt at them proved to be a no-op — one did not compile, - one was semantically identical to the original. +*Refreshed 2026-09-25, after 0.44.0.

"Same bargain as the TUI" is the justification for + writes-by-default, and for this one verb it is not true. + + Elicitation supports the missing gate: a `requestedSchema` with a + required string property, validated against the env name, refusing + on mismatch. + + **The ordering is the point.** A non-empty `requestedSchema` is + client behaviour nothing has exercised — the live matrix validated + the zero-field form only. So: prototype the schema, verify against a + real client, THEN ship. Shipping it untested would repeat the exact + sin 0.42.0 spent a day correcting. + + Fails closed if a client cannot render it: no typed field means no + match, which refuses. That is the right direction, and it is also + why this must be measured — a silent refusal of every terminate is a + poor way to discover a rendering gap. + +2. ~~**The headless configuration**~~ — **measured 2026-09-20, and + the measurement changed the fix.** `claude -p` declares + `elicitation: true`, gets `writes: every verb`, and does **not** + hang: it auto-declines a confirmation in under a second. + + So there is no availability problem — and a worse one. The reply + was recorded and reported as *"declined by the operator"* with no + human anywhere in the session, and the agent relayed "the operator + simply said no" to its user. A false attribution, produced by the + tool, repeated by the agent. + + Fixed: nothing now claims a person answered. The reason reads "the + confirmation was declined", and the guidance tells the agent not to + attribute it, naming `-p` and CI harnesses as the concrete case. + The flat do-not-retry prohibition is unchanged. + + `stage=asked` records the latency, which is what makes the two + distinguishable afterwards — a sub-second decline is not somebody + reading a foreclosure line. + + **Ruled 2026-09-20: log it, do not act on it.** No code change; this + is the shipped behaviour. See "Not scheduled" for the reasoning and + the one thing that would reopen it. + + *Original entry:* + + `claude -p` and CI harnesses use the same client binary and + plausibly declare the same capability with no human to render to. + For those, every write waits out the ask window and then denies — + including writes an operator explicitly granted with + `--allow-writes`, because the ask fires on capability alone. + + The tag notes state this as untested rather than claiming it works. + Twenty minutes with `claude -p` settles it. If it reproduces, the + fix is not obvious and is a **stop condition**, not a small item — + an autonomous run must measure and then stop, rather than reach for + a flag design: + possibly a startup flag asserting no human is present, possibly + honouring the flag as its own gate when the ask cannot be delivered. + **Measure first; the answer changes which.** + +3. ~~**A resend whose delete half failed**~~ — **done 2026-09-19.** + The item reports `RESENT BUT NOT REMOVED`, says a duplicate now + exists, and tells the agent not to retry that id. Mock-client + tested both branches: a delete-half failure on `dlq_delete` must + NOT claim a duplicate, because nothing was sent. + + ~~**Found while testing, not yet fixed:** an SQS failure surfaces as + the SDK's bare `"service error"`~~ — **done 2026-09-22.** Measured + before touching anything: a mocked IAM denial on `delete_message` + rendered as `AccessDenied: service error`. The class was right and + the sentence naming the missing permission — `sqs:DeleteMessage` — + was gone. + + `AwsErrorMeta` now carries the service's `message` alongside the + code and request id, `flatten_err_to_string` renders it, and the + five SQS calls go through `wrap_aws`. Same denial now reads + `AccessDenied: DeleteMessage failed: User is not authorized to + perform sqs:DeleteMessage`. An unclassified code (`ReceiptHandle + IsInvalid`) reaches the operator too, where it previously fell + through to the `Debug` sniff and surfaced nothing. + + All three layers proven separately — drop the capture, drop the + render, or make the call site a pass-through: CAUGHT each time. + + **The class is wider than SQS and was left alone deliberately.** 77 + `.send()` call sites outside `aws/sqs.rs` still take the bare `?`, + exactly one of which is already converted. 13 modules is past the + stop condition; it is now its own backlog item with the per-file + counts. + + *Original entry:* + + `dispatch_one_dlq_message` sends before deleting, deliberately. If + the send succeeds and the delete fails, the item reports `ok: false` + with a bare error — but the message IS now on the main queue and the + original is still in the DLQ. An agent that retries the "failed" id, + which the batch report invites, mints another duplicate per attempt. + Found by the correctness reviewer, twice, in both reviews. + + The error needs to say a duplicate now exists and not to resend that + id. Half a day including the mock-client test. + +### The protection-levels stages, in order + +*Stages 1-4 and 4b are done. Stage 5 (levels + the `Decision` type) was +blocked on the elicitation data stage 3 instruments — the ladder's +middle rungs are defined in terms of asking, and 4b deliberately did +not prejudge them. **That block lifted on 2026-09-19**: 0.42.0 shipped +the ask and its behaviour is measured, not assumed. See "Then" above.* + +The design note is agreed in principle. What follows is the +implementation order, and the ordering is the important part: the +reviews showed that doing these in the obvious sequence produces work +that has to be thrown away. + +Each stage must be independently shippable and useful even if the next +one never happens. If that stops being true, the stage is wrong. + +1. ~~Converge the two write gates~~ — **done 2026-09-09.** + + `cli::write_refusal` and `App::read_only_reason` are separate + implementations over different inputs, and `src/config.rs` documents + the divergence as deliberate. Nothing shared with pgman is possible + until there is one decision function. + + Done means: one function over a fully-materialised context — no + ambient `AWS_PROFILE` read, no clock, no `App` — with the TUI's + session gates (global read-only, freeze, demo mode) expressed as + context rather than as a second implementation. Toast wording stays + where it is; only the *decision* converges. + + Guard it: the existing check catches half-composition in `src/cli`, + not a path that calls neither gate. A dispatch site that reaches + neither should fail a test. + + `src/write_gate.rs` holds `decide(&WriteContext) -> Option`: + values only, no `App`, no `Config` methods, no `std::env`, no clock. + Both `cli::write_refusal` and `App::read_only_reason` now consult it + and render the result in their own voice — the TUI keeps the freeze + age and the `:incident END` hint, the CLI keeps `refusing ENV — + pinned by …`. Converging the messages too would have been a visible + regression for no benefit. + + The converged precedence (global → freeze → env pin → account pin) is + the union of both, and preserves each: the CLI never sets the global + rung, so its old order is untouched. + + `Config::pin_reason` is gone — it was the third implementation. Its + tests moved: the precedence cases to `write_gate`, and the replay one + ported to go through `write_refusal`, which pins the path it claims + to rather than a helper. + + Five mutations CAUGHT, and two of them were the interesting ones. An + account pin applying with no profile resolved was NOT caught until + the fixture gained an empty-string account key — a malformed config + line produces one, and without it the bug's lookup simply misses. And + the CLI guard could be blinded entirely with the suite staying green, + because it only ever fired if someone introduced a violation; it now + carries a canary that proves it detects on every run. + +2. ~~Emit MCP tool annotations~~ — **done 2026-09-09.** + + `readOnlyHint` / `destructiveHint` / `idempotentHint` / + `openWorldHint` on every tool descriptor. Verify the field names + against the current spec revision first. + + `src/cli/mcp/annotations.rs` holds one table classifying all 14 + tools, applied in `tool_table` rather than at each descriptor so a + guard can check the table against what is actually advertised. + Verified on the wire by driving the real server over stdio in both + modes: 14 tools, 0 unannotated. + + The classification that took the most thought is `confirm_action`, + annotated at its **worst case** — it dispatches whatever is pending, + which may be a terminate, so a client trusting `destructive: false` + would skip the prompt on exactly the call that needs one. It is also + the only non-idempotent tool: its token is single-use. + + `restart`, `deploy` and `set_option` are deliberately NOT destructive. + Flagging everything teaches clients to ignore the flag. + + Five mutations CAUGHT. As intended, the table doubles as stage 4's + action vocabulary. + +3. ~~Specify `ask` per surface~~ — **decided 2026-09-09, and instrumented.** + + Not code: a decision, written down, about what `ask` means on TUI, + CLI and MCP, and what it degrades to when the transport cannot carry + it. MCP degrades to *deny*, never to allow. + + This is deliberately ahead of levels. `guarded` and `trusted` are + defined in terms of asking; a ladder whose middle rungs cannot be + expressed over the primary agent transport is sugar over nothing. + + The decision is in the design note. The part worth repeating here: + elicitation is a CLIENT capability declared at `initialize`, so + whether `ask` is expressible is knowable per connection rather than + assumed. ebman was throwing that field away; it now captures and logs + it, and nothing branches on it yet. + + **The instrument was dead until 2026-09-18, and stage 5 was waiting + on data it could never receive.** Every subcommand returns from + `main` before `init_logging` — deliberate, and correct for a flag + that prints and exits, but the MCP server is a daemon. The whole + subcommand surface held exactly one `tracing::` call and it was this + one. A probe declaring elicitation support moved the log by zero + bytes. `mcp serve` now initialises file logging (`setup` does not — + it promises it writes no files); the same probe now records + `elicitation=true`, and a plain client `elicitation=false`. + + So the count starts at zero on 2026-09-18, not at the stage-3 date. + Nothing observed before then was recorded anywhere. + + **The stop condition is now instrumented rather than hypothetical.** + If the logs show almost no client declaring elicitation, the ladder's + middle rungs collapse to deny and stages 4–5 need re-planning — but + that will be a conclusion from data, not a guess. Three mutations + CAUGHT on the detector, including one that would have made every + client look incapable. + +4. ~~Audit every refusal, with its rule and its remedy~~ — **done + 2026-09-09.** Re-scoped; see below. + + `stage=refused` lines across all four enforcement funnels: the TUI's + `deny_write` / `deny_write_batch`, and `cli::write_refusal` behind + `ebman action`, `action rollout`, `audit replay`, `lint --fix` and + both MCP write phases. Each names the rule (`env_pinned`, + `account_pinned`, `frozen`, `global_read_only`) and a remedy naming + the exact config key. + + The near-miss is now visible: an agent attempting `terminate` on a + pinned prod leaves a line per attempt instead of nothing. + + Wired at four funnels rather than ~25 dispatch sites, which the + existing `cli_write_paths_do_not_reach_past_the_shared_gate` guard is + what makes safe. `read_only_reason` split into `refusal_for` (typed) + and `render_refusal` (wording) — the audit needs the rule name, and + rendering is exactly what discards it. + + Eight mutations CAUGHT across the two halves. + + **Re-scoped: the obligations channel moves into stage 5.** Stage 4 as + written also carried `Decision { outcome, obligations }` and a + correlation id. Both were deferred *because nothing produces or reads + them yet* — the first obligation ("allow, but type-to-confirm") + arrives with the levels, and a channel with no producer is the + dead-field defect this repo has now hit three times in one day + (`client_supports_elicitation` written and never read; a client cache + added that nothing read; `pin_reason` as a third gate). Adding it + early would not have made stage 5 cheaper; it would have shipped a + plausible-looking struct field that no test could fail on. + +4b. ~~Verb-scoped `--allow-writes`~~ — **done 2026-09-18.** Taken + ahead of stage 5, on evidence. + + `--allow-writes=dlq_resend,dlq_delete` grants those verbs and + nothing else. Not in the original order; it went in front of the + levels because the coarse flag had stopped being a design concern + and started blocking a real grant — a field session declined to ask + for write access rather than accept terminate-on-Prod as the price + of deleting one dead-lettered message. + + Half a day against stage 5's two weeks, and it prejudges nothing: a + named level later compiles down to a verb set. Pure ceiling, so + Principle 5 holds trivially — a server flag, not request content. + + The operator ruling that shaped it: a **uniform** grant, no tiered + ceremony per environment. Demo is not a lesser Prod when a client is + watching it, and a ladder that says otherwise teaches operators to + click through the cheap rungs. + + Two defects, both found by guards rather than by review — worth + noting because both were in the new work and both read as fine: + `confirm_action` was being filtered out of a narrow grant (every + narrow grant could plan a write and never dispatch one), and `mcp + setup` had been advertising five write verbs since the three DLQ + ones shipped. Both lists are now derived; a `docs_drift` guard pins + the third. + + Eleven mutations CAUGHT, two of which were only caught after the + first attempt at them proved to be a no-op — one did not compile, + one was semantically identical to the original. + +### From the scheduled mutation sweep, 2026-09-21 + +The nightly whole-tree run finished (6h25m, 2118 survivors overall, +76 in `cli/mcp`). Triaged against the week's new code: + +- **Fixed:** `succeeded += 1` in `dispatch_dlq_and_audit` survived + `-=` and `*=`. The batch test asserting `"succeeded":2` runs in + demo, and the demo branch renders that field from + `dlq_targets.len()` rather than from the counter — so the live + counter was never incremented by any test. Demo and live computing + the same field two ways with only demo covered is the divergence + this cycle kept finding elsewhere. Now covered by a mock-client + batch that deletes two messages for real. +- **Fixed:** the confirm-time re-read depth (`DLQ_BATCH_CAP * 3`) + survived being divided. Under-fetching means a full batch cannot be + found, so messages the operator approved report as "not among those + returned" while the rest dispatch. Pinned on the REQUEST — the first + call must ask SQS for its per-call maximum of 10 — rather than by + simulating SQS sampling, which would be testing the mock. +- **Accepted equivalent:** `ask_outcome_from`'s + `Some("decline") | Some("cancel")` arm can be deleted with no + behaviour change, because the catch-all is also `Declined` — the + fail-closed default is deliberate. The explicit arm states intent; + it does not carry behaviour. Recorded so nobody re-investigates. +- **Accepted:** `forget_ask` replaced with `()` survives. It leaks one + `pending_asks` entry per timed-out ask, bounded by connection + lifetime, and no observable behaviour changes — the ask has already + been answered by its own timeout. Worth a drop-guard if + `pending_asks` ever grows unbounded; not now. +- **Not chased:** the remaining `cli/mcp` survivors are in `run`, the + frame loop that owns stdin. `src/ui/` survivors remain deliberately + uncovered, as recorded below. + +### The four-stage structural refactor, 2026-09-21/22 + +From the software-architect pass. Reviewed after each stage, as asked. + +1. **`cli/lint.rs` — `run` 606 lines -> 308.** `run_cycle` extracted + with a `client_for` closure as the testability seam; the + `FIX_DISPATCH_FAILED` static replaced by a returned `CycleReport` + whose degraded state is *derived* from its reasons rather than + tracked alongside them. Found and fixed a live bug: EBL015 reported + clean when `ListPlatformVersions` failed. **Reviewed — but not + done; see the open item below.** + + The review named **three side channels** still inside `run_cycle`. + Two are closed: `exit_after_drain(2)` became + `CycleReport::usage_error` and the wall clock became a passed-in + `now` (`c50a490`), and the `--fix` block came out with the three + tests that first reached it (`8985966`). + + **This was recorded nowhere but those commit messages** — the entry + above said "Done, reviewed" while a third of it was outstanding, + which is the invisible-follow-up failure `CLAUDE.md` names. Hence + the open item. + + *(Open follow-up promoted to PLAN.md "Now" item 2 on 2026-09-25.)* + +2. **`app/input.rs` — `handle_key` 842 lines -> 188.** `OverlayRoute` + makes the overlay dispatch exhaustive over all 14 variants with no + wildcard, and `key_arm_order` now parses both keymap files. Found + and fixed a live bug: `About` was missing from a hand-written + overlay-variant list. **Done, reviewed.** + +3. **`audit.rs` — escaping into one renderer.** `Field` + `detail_from`. + Closed four live forge paths (`action=` was interpolated raw by + `dispatched`/`completed`/`skipped`/`undone`) and one door out of the + file (`append_raw`, whose sole caller shipped three unescaped + fields including an EB *application* name). **Done, reviewed — and + the review was worth more than the refactor:** + + - The commit claimed "wire format unchanged" and it was false. Six + fields were always-quoted before and became conditionally quoted, + rewriting the bytes of every `lint --fix` line. Invisible to 82 + audit tests because `parse_kv_pairs` reads both forms. Fixed with + `Field::Quoted` + a test that asserts on bytes, not on the parse. + - The commit claimed `append_extras` was deleted. It was still live + behind the DLQ writer. + - The "chokepoint" claim held only inside `audit.rs`. + + The pattern across all three: the *narrative* over-claimed while the + code under-delivered, in the same commit. Cf. + `state-claims-only-as-wide-as-checked`. + +4. **Relocate the `cli/mcp` test mass** to `src/cli/mcp/tests/`, on the + `src/app/tests/` precedent. `mod.rs`, `writes.rs`, `tools.rs` only — + explicitly not a repo-wide sweep. Each self-scanning guard must be + re-pointed at the `scan.rs` helpers and re-proven with a planted + violation. **Done, reviewed.** + + Production halves: `mod.rs` 5,841 -> 1,715, `writes.rs` + 4,305 -> 2,652, `tools.rs` 2,759 -> 1,862, with the 168 MCP test + names byte-identical across all three moves. + + Two parenting strategies, because one does not fit both: `mod.rs`'s + tests keep their path exactly (`mcp::tests`), while `writes.rs`'s + and `tools.rs`'s stay CHILDREN of their parents via `#[path]` — + re-parenting them compiled and then failed on visibility, and the + only way through would have been `pub(crate)` on a dozen private + items of the module that owns the write gate. + + **What it found, which is the point:** + + - `a_resend_sends_before_it_deletes` had been asserting on its own + source since a rename in `beae2bd`. The `.expect()` that should + have caught it was satisfied by the guard's own literal, sitting + in the file it read. Its `send < del` also compared `Option`s, + where `None < Some(_)` — a missing send SATISFIED the ordering + check. + - `production_half` was deleting 27 lines of `src/aws.rs`, + including `pub(crate) struct AwsErrorMeta`, because an + out-of-line `mod tests;` has no body to skip past. A scan helper + reporting clean over code it never saw. + - The write-gate guard could pass over zero files, and its + "`mod.rs` is the gate" exemption silently excused all 1,715 lines + of `cli/mcp/mod.rs`. + + Three of these predate the refactor by months. The relocation did + not cause them; it is what made them visible, which is the argument + for doing this kind of move at all. From 607831717a84c34e58a58b7edd7cc25a224e2ada Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Baldwin Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 18:24:43 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 155/222] fix(mcp): a dlq_resend could send the message back into the dead-letter queue MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit `main_queue_for` derived the main queue by stripping `-dlq` from the DLQ url and, when there was no such suffix, returned the DLQ url itself. EB's auto-created pair is `...-AWSEBWorkerQueue-...` / `...-AWSEBWorkerDeadLetterQueue-...`, so for those a resend put the message straight back into the DLQ, deleted the original and reported `ok: true`. The work never reached the worker, and the receive count reset. A test pinned the fall-through as intended; every fixture used `-dlq` names, the one shape the derivation got right. `describe_worker_queues` already returns the real `main_url`, and the TUI always used it. The MCP plan now carries it (`dlq_main_url`), refuses a resend when there is none, and dispatch sends nothing if a plan ever arrives without one. `main_queue_for` and its test are gone. Three mutations CAUGHT, one per layer: M1 send to the DLQ url (the bug) -> a_resend_goes_to_the_main_queue_eb_reported FAILED M2 drop the plan-time refusal -> a_resend_with_no_main_queue_is_refused... FAILED M3 dispatch falls back to the DLQ url -> a_resend_plan_with_no_main_queue_sends_nothing FAILED The first two drive plan -> confirm end to end through the injected client, with EB's real queue names; the send rule matches ONLY the reported main queue. The third exists because the plan refusal makes the dispatch backstop unreachable from the other two — a fallback reintroduced there would otherwise pass. Found by the 2026-09-25 correctness review.

Now `take_recoverable` removes it under the lock before sending, and `hold_again` puts it back if the send fails. - Unaudited. The restore is a real SendMessage and wrote no line, so the log recorded the delete and never that it was undone. Now a dispatched/completed pair, `action=dlq-undo`, naming the message. - Wrong region. The client came from the undo call's own arguments, so a message deleted in a non-default region was restored against the default endpoint. `DeletedMessage` now records the delete's profile and region, and the undo rebuilds that client. Four mutations CAUGHT: U1 take a copy, leave the entry (the bug) -> an_undo_restores_once_and_is_audited FAILED U2 a failed restore drops the message -> a_failed_undo_keeps_the_message_recoverable FAILED U3 no dispatched line for the restore -> an_undo_restores_once_and_is_audited FAILED U4 forget the delete's region -> a_held_message_remembers_its_profile_and_region FAILED Limit, stated rather than implied: U4 pins that the region is STORED. That the undo then builds its client from it is not observable in a test — the injected client ignores its arguments — so that line is covered by review only. Found by the 2026-09-25 correctness review.

The same path feeds the MCP `lint` tool, so agents saw it too. Both failures now become coverage warnings, which the cycle routes through `degrade` and MCP into `skipped_envs`. The rule still skips -- a failed fetch must never become a false positive. Only when coverage was actually lost, because the naive fix is a false alarm: `DescribeEnvironmentHealth` is unavailable on BASIC health by design, so warning on every health failure would degrade every run on an ordinary configuration. Two pure helpers decide: - ebl010_could_fire: enabled, and `required_tags` declared - ebl012_could_fire: enabled, env Ready and Green/Ok, and SystemType not basic `fetch_env_lint_inputs` gains `required_tags` for the first; both callers already had it. Seven mutations CAUGHT: L1 tag failure silent again (the bug) -> a_rejected_tag_fetch_degrades_the_cycle FAILED L2 health failure silent again (the bug)-> a_rejected_health_fetch_degrades_the_cycle FAILED L3 forget basic health -> ebl012_is_not_lost_on_basic_health FAILED L4 forget required_tags -> ebl010_is_lost_only_when_enabled_with_required_tags FAILED L5 forget the Ready precondition -> ebl012_is_not_lost_when_the_rule_could_not_apply FAILED L6 forget the Green precondition -> ebl012_is_not_lost_when_the_rule_could_not_apply FAILED L7 forget EBL012 being disabled -> ebl012_is_not_lost_when_the_rule_could_not_apply FAILED The cycle fixture's env now carries an ARN, so the tag fetch runs at all; the clean-cycle control still passes with it. Found by the 2026-09-25 correctness review.

Both now go in `skipped_envs`, with per-branch EBL015 failures, which is where the tool description tells agents lost coverage is. The undocumented `warnings` array that carried the per-branch ones is gone. Also, in the CLI and MCP alike, a failed stack listing no longer degrades the run when EBL008 is disabled -- a disabled rule must never redden a run. No test reached these paths before; that is how the bug survived. `lint_server` builds a one-env mock fleet with a fault per input, and a control that answers everything must report NOTHING skipped -- without it each assertion would pass on a tool that always reported skips. Five mutations CAUGHT: T1 MCP: EBL008 failure silent -> lint_reports_a_failed_stack_listing FAILED T2 MCP: whole EBL015 failure dropped -> lint_reports_a_failed_platform_pass FAILED T3 MCP: per-branch EBL015 dropped -> lint_reports_a_partly_failed_platform_pass FAILED T4 CLI: disabled EBL008 still degrades -> ..._does_not_degrade_when_ebl008_is_disabled FAILED T5 CLI: EBL008 failure silent -> a_failed_stack_listing_degrades_the_cycle FAILED Not pinned: the MCP side of the disabled-EBL008 gate. The tool reads `lint.disable` from the config file, which this harness cannot inject. Found by the 2026-09-25 plan and code reviews.

A typo'd env in a multi-region CI gate exited 0 with "No issues found". `env_not_found_anywhere` decides it once, for both commands: a usage error (exit 2) when NAME was found in no region AND every region answered. If a region could not be listed NAME may be there, so the run stays degraded (exit 1) rather than being called a typo -- that would claim more than was seen. A TEST PINNED THE DEFECT. `an_unknown_env_under_multi_region_is_not_a_usage_error` said "the env may legitimately live in another region", but its fixture put the env in NO region -- the exact typo case. Replaced by what it meant (env present in another region: not an error) plus the two cases it hid (absent everywhere: error; absent where a region did not answer: degraded, not an error). This is correcting a test that asserted the bug, not loosening a guard.

FAILED E6 first came back NOT CAUGHT: the only "unanswered region" test failed at client construction, leaving the list_environments arm unpinned. The listing-failure test exists because of it. `drift` has no test seam (it builds its client inline and exits the process), so only the shared decision is pinned there, not its wiring.

Run beside the cache test, the clear landed between its two lookups. The full suite happened to schedule them apart, so CI stayed green and the race was invisible from where it fired -- the same shape as the "possible flake" already in the backlog, whose cause was never found. Found while mutation-testing the multi-region `--env` fix, when a filtered run picked the racing pair together. Not caused by that fix: it reproduced 7/8 under a filter matching none of its tests. Fixed as a class, not an instance. `cache_lock_guard` parses every source file with syn, finds each `#[test]`/`#[tokio::test]` whose body reaches the cache directly -- `apply_rebuild(`, `clear_client_cache(`, `cached_client(`, or a DISPATCHED `AppMsg::Rebuild` -- and requires the lock. It found the two culprits, plus `stale_rebuild_arrival_is_dropped` (harmless with its inputs; locked anyway, deliberately conservative). A first cut also flagged a test that only CONSTRUCTS a Rebuild to read a field; the detector now requires `handle_msg(` beside it. After: 0 failures in 12 runs of the same filter. Four mutations CAUGHT: G1 drop the lock from the culprit test -> every_test_that_reaches_the_client_cache_takes_the_lock FAILED G2 a comment counts as taking the lock -> the_detector_flags_... FAILED G3 a constructed Rebuild counts -> the_detector_flags_... FAILED G4 a dispatched Rebuild does not count -> the_detector_flags_... FAILED Scope: direct entry points only. A test reaching the cache through a longer production path is not seen.

It held in one surface of three. `aws_ctx` built a two-layer chain -- the operation as its own outer `wrap_err` around an `AwsErrorMeta` holding the code and message -- so an error's plain `Display` was just "DeleteMessage failed". The TUI recovered the reason by downcasting. The CLI and MCP print with `{e}` / `e.to_string()` at about sixty sites, and all of them showed the operation alone; the audit `err=` field recorded the same. Fixed at the source rather than at sixty sites: `AwsErrorMeta` now carries the operation, the chain is one layer, and its `Display` reads DeleteMessage failed: AccessDenied: User is not authorized to perform sqs:DeleteMessage (request id ...) so every plain `{e}` is right -- including sites not yet written, which no guard could have enforced (the distinction is a type, not a syntax). `flatten_err_to_string` takes the operation from `meta.op` so it does not print the reason twice. `aws_report` is now the one constructor, and the three pure tests that built the OLD two-layer chain by hand use it -- otherwise they would have gone on pinning a shape production no longer makes. Six `{e:#}` sites existed purely to reach the reason through the old chain -- ssm.rs's comment: "Same fix as s3.rs's abort log, which this site missed" -- the per-site workaround for this bug. Now plain `{e}`. `spawn_refresh.rs:294` keeps `{e:#}`: its errors are re-wrapped with a region by `list_environments_in_region`. Limit, stated: an error a caller wraps AGAIN after `aws_ctx` has the caller's text outermost, exactly as before. Three mutations CAUGHT, each against a control that passed first: N1 operation back in its own outer layer (the bug) -> an_aws_errors_plain_display_names_what_aws_refused FAILED N2 TUI renderer prints the reason twice -> same test FAILED N3 Display drops the operation -> same test FAILED Two process notes. The first draft asserted `{e:#}` did not repeat the message; it does, because the SDK's own error Display repeats it, with or without this change -- the test was red on unmutated code, which made the first three CAUGHT results meaningless. And N3 first came back NOT CAUGHT: "names the operation" was `contains("DeleteMessage")`, which AWS's sentence ("...perform sqs:DeleteMessage") satisfies alone.

On any client that can ask the operator -- Claude Code can -- that registration serves EVERY write verb, `terminate` and `dlq_purge` included (`effective_scope`: no flag + elicitation => All). The official setup path told the operator the opposite of what they got, in the dangerous direction. Found by the product review; the MCP server's own instructions already said it, but only the agent reads those. Both now state the rule as the code has it -- a client that can ask gets every verb, each confirmed and declinable; one that cannot gets reads -- and name the `--read-only` registration for anyone who wanted what the old text promised. `--help`'s synopsis gains `--allow-writes[=VERBS] | --read-only`, and lists the dlq verbs it omitted. The README keeps its (correct) default, but drops two over-claims: "nothing dispatches without your answer" and "human-confirmed" writes. ebman cannot tell an operator from a client answering for itself, which `doctor` already tells agents not to claim. Whether the DEFAULT should change -- e.g. terminate and dlq_purge behind an explicit flag even on clients that can ask -- is a product decision for the maintainer, not made here. Two mutations CAUGHT, reverting each text to the old claim: --help (by hand: mutate.sh refuses main.rs, --lib does not build it; cp backup, applied count 1, restored, diff 0) -> help_says_what_a_bare_mcp_registration_grants FAILED mcp setup -> a_bare_registration_says_what_it_really_grants FAILED The first commit attempt was rejected by the pre-commit hook: tests/cli.rs denies `expect_used`, and the gate output showing it was not read before committing. Now the file's own `unwrap_or_else(|| panic!(..))` idiom.

The README calls `--read-only` the audit-friendly posture; one keystroke undid it and the log showed nothing. Found by the product review. The arm moves out of the router into `cmd_readonly` (router arms are one-liners), which writes `action=ReadOnly state=on|off` on every CHANGE -- a no-op toggle records nothing -- and nothing in demo mode. Whether lifting read-only should also need a typed confirm, or be sticky for a `--read-only` session, is a product decision left open. Recorded, not fixed here: `:thaw-deploys` audits even in demo mode, against the demo-writes-nothing rule this follows. That belongs to the "demo audit suppression in one place" refactor the implementation review proposed, where it is the evidence for the item.

Since 0.30 that is the *row's* region, not the session's: under a `:region all` fan-out the selected environment is routinely in another region, and every write now dispatches there. Both lines of the dispatch/outcome pair carry the same region, so `ebman audit` correlates them correctly. It also records **refused** writes (`stage=refused`), which previously left no trace at all: a blocked write never dispatches, so there was no dispatched/outcome pair, and repeated attempts against a pinned environment looked exactly like nobody trying. Each line names the rule that fired (`rule=safety_config_unreadable` / `env_pinned` / `account_pinned` / `frozen` / `global_read_only` / `not_granted` / `not_approved`) and the remedy — the specific control that would have to change. A dead-letter write additionally records `message_id=` and `task=` — which message it was and what it carried. For every other action the log can be read against the environment afterwards; for a delete the thing the log declines to name is exactly the thing that no longer exists. `not_granted` is the MCP write-scope rule: the verb is not in this connection's write surface, so it is not even advertised — a client reaching it is working from a stale tool list or probing, which is worth seeing and invisible any other way. `not_approved` (0.42+) is the other side of that: the verb *was* available, the action was put to the operator, and they declined or did not answer. It is recorded for the same reason as the rest — a write that a person stopped and a write nobody ever attempted otherwise look identical afterwards, and the first is the one worth knowing about. `stage=refused` is deliberately distinct from `stage=skipped`, which means a benign non-dispatch (a batch member whose environment vanished mid-run). diff --git a/src/app/cmd_misc.rs b/src/app/cmd_misc.rs index ff04629..8f5e516 100644 --- a/src/app/cmd_misc.rs +++ b/src/app/cmd_misc.rs @@ -295,6 +295,35 @@ impl App { } } + /// `:readonly [on|off]` — toggle the session's read-only guard, and + /// record the change. + /// + /// Turning it OFF re-enables every destructive action in the + /// session, and it left no trace: `--read-only` is advertised as the + /// audit-friendly posture, yet one keystroke undid it and the log + /// showed nothing.

The TUI could not reach them without depending on the CLI (nothing in `app` does), so it kept its own copies of the assembly, and they drifted: the review found `:explain` flattening a failed tag fetch into "no tags" and the pre-deploy lint reading a failed option fetch as "no issues". This is step one of giving every surface the one assembly; no behaviour change. Two corrections ride along because the move touched them: - a doc comment for the EBL020 probe sat stranded ABOVE `ProbeOutcome`'s, merging into it (the backlog's "merged doc comments" class); it is back on its function - `fetch_stale_platform_issues`' doc said MCP drops per-branch warnings, false since e15d62b THE MOVE BLINDED A GUARD. `no_lint_caller_flattens_a_failed_tag_fetch_into_an_empty_list` scans a fixed list of files for an `env_tag_keys` binding that flattens with `unwrap_or_default`, and the binding it watched moved out of the list. Everything stayed green. Demonstrated, not assumed: a planted flattening rebinding in lint/inputs.rs is NOT CAUGHT without the new list entry CAUGHT with it The entry is added here. A list-based guard goes blind on every move, so a following commit makes it scan all production source. Every other guard naming cli/lint.rs was checked: the code each looks for (`degrade` sites, `fix_may_dispatch`, `should_run_account_pass`, `write_refusal_unaudited`) stayed in cli/lint.rs.

A failed fetch of any other input read as "doesn't fire" -- a clean bill of health for a check that never ran. Found by the implementation and code reviews. It now calls `lint::inputs::fetch_env_lint_inputs` + `run_rules_for_env`, the path `ebman lint` and the MCP tool use, and decides its answer with `explain_verdict`: Fires(issue) / NotEvaluated(why) / DoesNotFire, the middle one matched from the coverage warnings by rule id as a word. `EnvLintInputs` gains `dlq_depth` -- EBL011's input, which the lint path does not poll and the TUI caches. Without it the TUI could not use the shared assembly at all, which is why it kept copies. `None` from the fetch, filled by the TUI. Behaviour changes, stated: `:explain` now also runs the gated EBL020 / EBL018 probes (only when X-Ray is on / a prod ALB env), so it sees what `ebman lint` sees. Three mutations CAUGHT, each against a passing control: V1 lost coverage reads as doesn't-fire (the bug) -> a_rule_that_could_not_run_says_so FAILED V2 matched by substring, not word -> another_rules_lost_coverage_is_not_this_rules FAILED V3 another rule's lost coverage hides a finding -> a_finding_stands_beside_another_rules_lost_coverage FAILED V3 was first NOT CAUGHT; the mixed-case test exists because of it. The first mutation round was all INCONCLUSIVE -- the test module did not compile (`Severity::Warning` is `Warn`) -- which mutate.sh reports as such rather than as a pass. The spawned-task wiring is not reachable from a unit test; a structural guard pinning both TUI lint paths to the shared assembly follows with the `:lint` conversion.

It dropped tag and health fetch failures in silence (`.ok()`), never ran the EBL020 / EBL018 probes, and rendered "✓ No issues found" whenever the issue list came back empty -- including when checks could not run. The same env linted differently here and in `ebman lint`. It now calls `lint::inputs::fetch_env_lint_inputs` + `run_rules_for_env` like `:explain`, the CLI and MCP, filling `dlq_depth` from the TUI's cache. `render_lint_overlay` takes the coverage warnings: with none it is unchanged; with some it lists each check that could NOT run and never shows a ✓. Disables are composed before the fetch, so a disabled rule does not run its probe. Two guards, because this class keeps recurring in copies: - `no_lint_caller_flattens_a_failed_tag_fetch_into_an_empty_list` now scans every production file instead of a hand-kept list. The list named three callers and missed the fourth (`:explain`, where finding 6 lived), and a move blinded it (0a81d5e). It asserts a floor so it cannot pass by seeing nothing. - `the_tui_lint_paths_use_the_shared_assembly` pins `cmd_lint` and `cmd_explain_issue` to the shared fetch, with no LintContext of their own. Six mutations CAUGHT: P1 :lint grows a private LintContext -> the_tui_lint_paths_use_the_shared_assembly FAILED P2 flattening planted in cmd_inspect.rs -> no_lint_caller_flattens_... FAILED (a file the old list never covered) O1 lost coverage dropped beside findings -> lint_overlay_lists_lost_coverage_beside_findings FAILED O2 empty + lost coverage renders ✓ -> lint_overlay_never_shows_a_clean_result_... FAILED (plus V1-V3 on the shared verdict, in 0aae9f8.) Not converted: the pre-deploy lint in spawn_deploy.rs. It has a latency-driven input cache the shared fetch does not, and renders into a confirm modal with no way to show lost coverage; unifying it needs a ruling on both, so it is recorded rather than guessed.

The confirm modal renders lint warnings only when there are some, so an empty list renders as NOTHING -- exactly how a clean env renders. "Could not check" and "checked, clean" were indistinguishable at the moment of the write. Found by the implementation and code reviews. `AppMsg::ConfirmModalLint` gains `unavailable: Option`, carried into `ConfirmModal::lint_unavailable`, and the modal renders "lint could not run — not a clean result: " in the caution colour. The lint stays advisory: it never blocks the confirm. Scope, deliberately narrow: this does NOT move the pre-deploy lint onto the shared `lint::inputs` assembly. It has a latency-driven tag/health cache the shared fetch lacks, and silent `.ok()` on those two inputs remains; unifying it needs rulings on the cache and on whether a confirm modal should pay for the EBL020/EBL018 probes. Recorded. Four mutations CAUGHT, one per link in the chain: sender: reason dropped on a failed fetch -> the_pre_deploy_lint_reports_a_failed_run FAILED handler: reason dropped -> a_lint_that_could_not_run_reaches_the_modal_as_a_reason FAILED render: reason never drawn -> a_lint_that_could_not_run_is_shown_in_the_confirm_modal FAILED (the render test also asserts the line is ABSENT with no reason) The sender runs in a spawned task no unit test reaches, hence a structural pin on `spawn_confirm_lint`.

Found by the implementation review. `ACTION_ALIASES` + `action_key` compare labels by alias group. Reader-side on purpose: nothing on disk changes meaning, and whatever spelling the writers converge on later stays compatible. Not done: the typed verb vocabulary that would make every surface WRITE one spelling.

The re-review found what that missed: `dlq_undo` runs under the 30 s tool timeout, and a timeout drops the future -- no error path runs. A slow credential load or SendMessage lost the only copy of the body, the audit kept a `dispatched` line with no `completed`, and the agent was told "timed out". Before 90f93e2 a timeout cost only that one attempt. The fix pass introduced the defect; the re-review is why anyone knows. A CLAIM instead of a removal. `claim_for_restore` marks the entry (`restoring_since`); `finish_restore` removes it only on success and releases it on failure. A dropped restore leaves a claim that lapses after `RESTORE_CLAIM_SECS` (twice the tool timeout, so a running restore is never raced). Worst case is now a duplicate send -- the recoverable failure in a worker queue -- never a lost message. `Claim::Claimed` is boxed (clippy: large variant). Also fixes the re-review's first minor: a second undo while one is in flight was told "it has already been restored", which was false whenever the first then failed. It is now told the restore is in progress. Five mutations CAUGHT, over the whole writes test module: C1 claim removes the entry (the 90f93e2 defect) -> a_dropped_restore_does_not_lose_the_message FAILED (re-run after boxing changed the mutated line) C2 no in-progress check -> same FAILED C3 an abandoned claim never lapses -> same FAILED C4 a successful restore is not removed -> same FAILED C5 a failed restore stays claimed -> a_failed_undo_keeps_the_message_recoverable FAILED Two misfires on the way, both in the verification rather than the code: the first run filtered on "undo", which did not match the new test's name, so C2/C3 were checked against tests that never exercise them and came back NOT CAUGHT; and C5 exposed that "still in the buffer" was satisfied by a message wrongly left claimed, so the failed- undo test now also retries and asserts it is not told "in progress".

A delete and its undo could not be correlated by task. Re-review minor, from 90f93e2.

Since 0.30 that is the *row's* region, not the session's: under a `:region all` fan-out the selected environment is routinely in another region, and every write now dispatches there. Both lines of the dispatch/outcome pair carry the same region, so `ebman audit` correlates them correctly. It also records **refused** writes (`stage=refused`), which previously left no trace at all: a blocked write never dispatches, so there was no dispatched/outcome pair, and repeated attempts against a pinned environment looked exactly like nobody trying. Each line names the rule that fired (`rule=safety_config_unreadable` / `env_pinned` / `account_pinned` / `frozen` / `global_read_only` / `not_granted` / `not_approved`) and the remedy — the specific control that would have to change. A dead-letter write additionally records `message_id=` and `task=` — which message it was and what it carried. For every other action the log can be read against the environment afterwards; for a delete the thing the log declines to name is exactly the thing that no longer exists. `not_granted` is the MCP write-scope rule: the verb is not in this connection's write surface, so it is not even advertised — a client reaching it is working from a stale tool list or probing, which is worth seeing and invisible any other way. `not_approved` (0.42+) is the other side of that: the verb *was* available, the action was put to the operator, and they declined or did not answer. It is recorded for the same reason as the rest — a write that a person stopped and a write nobody ever attempted otherwise look identical afterwards, and the first is the one worth knowing about. `stage=refused` is deliberately distinct from `stage=skipped`, which means a benign non-dispatch (a batch member whose environment vanished mid-run). diff --git a/src/app/cmd_misc.rs b/src/app/cmd_misc.rs index fa3f7d6..5307850 100644 --- a/src/app/cmd_misc.rs +++ b/src/app/cmd_misc.rs @@ -339,13 +339,11 @@ impl App { self.read_only = super::parse_toggle(arg, self.read_only); if self.read_only != was && !self.demo_mode { let state = if self.read_only { "on" } else { "off" }; - crate::audit::append_action_dispatched( + crate::audit::append_read_only_toggle( self.context.account_id.as_deref(), self.context.profile.as_deref(), &self.context.region, - "ReadOnly", - "", - &[("state", state)], + state, ); } self.status_message = Some(if self.read_only { diff --git a/src/app/tests/dispatch.rs b/src/app/tests/dispatch.rs index c803fc6..09d8310 100644 --- a/src/app/tests/dispatch.rs +++ b/src/app/tests/dispatch.rs @@ -3089,9 +3089,15 @@ fn toggling_read_only_is_audited() { .strip_prefix(&before) .expect("the audit log is append-only") .lines() - .filter(|l| l.contains(profile) && l.contains("action=ReadOnly")) + .filter(|l| l.contains(profile) && l.contains("kind=read_only")) .collect(); assert_eq!(lines.len(), 2, "one line per CHANGE: {lines:#?}"); + // An event, not a dispatched write: a `dispatched` line with no + // `completed` is how this log marks a crash mid-write. + for l in &lines { + assert!(l.contains("stage=event"), "{l}"); + assert!(!l.contains("stage=dispatched"), "{l}"); + } assert!(lines[0].contains("state=off"), "{}", lines[0]); assert!(lines[1].contains("state=on"), "{}", lines[1]); } diff --git a/src/audit.rs b/src/audit.rs index 5de3e88..e56666b 100644 --- a/src/audit.rs +++ b/src/audit.rs @@ -1021,6 +1021,29 @@ pub(crate) fn build_webhook_body( /// Typed rather than "pass a built string" precisely so there is no /// second way to reach the log. `append_raw` existed to be that second /// way. +/// Append a `stage=event kind=read_only` line: the session's read-only +/// guard was turned on or off. +/// +/// An EVENT, not a dispatched action.

After a timeout there is no other call, only a claim that has not lapsed yet, and neither the refusal nor the no-argument listing said so. `Claim::InProgress` now carries `retry_after_secs`, computed from the claim's age; the refusal quotes it, and the listing marks held messages `"restoring": true`. - Capacity eviction (`remember_deleted`) removed the oldest entry regardless of claims, so a delete landing during an undo could evict the message mid-restore -- and if that restore then failed, `finish_restore` found nothing and the message was gone. It now evicts the oldest UNCLAIMED entry, falling back to the oldest overall only if every entry is claimed, so the bound always holds.

The per-surface types stay as parse layers and map into it: MCP `WriteVerb::verb`, CLI `CliVerb::ALL`, `ReplayVerb`, and the TUI's `Action::shared_verb` / `Action::audit_label`. What changed on the wire (CHANGELOG, under Changed): - MCP audited a restart as `Restart`; now `RestartAppServer`, and an MCP restart plan's `action` field says the same - TUI forms and deploys audited option writes as `UpdateOptionSettings`; now `SetOption` `audit --action` matches old and new spellings through the alias table, which moved into verb.rs beside the spellings it reconciles. `audit replay` parses through `Verb::from_audit_label` instead of its own copy of the aliases. The absorbed backlog items, as far as they reach: - the MCP annotations table takes write-tool destructiveness from `Verb::destructive` instead of classifying for itself - the TUI refusal-label table and the DLQ / batch / lint / deploy / rollout audit sites use the vocabulary; ~15 hand-typed labels gone - TUI-only actions (SsmRun, AlarmCreate, ...) keep their own labels: there is no second spelling to drift from Guards: - `no_surface_spells_a_shared_verb_itself`: no production string literal equal to a shared label or old alias outside verb.rs. It found 11 when written (deploy labels in the CLI and batch, and the replay parser's alias copy) -- all routed through the vocabulary - `every_write_tool_takes_its_destructiveness_from_the_vocabulary` - `the_ruled_spellings`, `every_verb_has_its_own_label` Five mutations CAUGHT: M1 a surface types "UpdateOptionSettings" again -> no_surface_spells_a_shared_verb_itself FAILED M2 an annotation hard-codes destructive -> every_write_tool_takes_its_destructiveness_... FAILED M3 the ruled spelling changes -> the_ruled_spellings FAILED M4 old spellings stop replaying -> replay_plan_reconstructs_restart FAILED M5 MCP restart maps to the wrong verb -> every_write_tool_takes_its_destructiveness_... FAILED M1 and M2 first reported DID NOT APPLY (a GNU-only sed address; rustfmt had split the annotation tuple) and were re-run against the real shape. Not pinned, by construction: `Action::audit_label`'s shared-verb path is an equivalent mutant today -- the TUI variant names already equal the shared spellings -- so it guards a future rename no current test can simulate.

It now calls `lint::inputs::fetch_env_lint_inputs` + `run_rules_for_env` and decides with `explain_verdict` -- the same path as `ebman lint`, the MCP tool, `:lint` and `:explain`. A rule that could not be evaluated for some env is reported per env and exits 1, not the clean-result 3.

Putting the operation into `AwsErrorMeta` made an AWS error's plain `Display` the whole story for SERVICE errors -- but a timeout, DNS failure, dispatch failure or expired SSO session has no code and no message (`ProvideErrorMetadata` is empty for anything that is not a service error), so its plain text became the bare operation name. The six sites 13f6241 moved from `{e:#}` to `{e}` (ssm, s3, worker-queue discovery and stats) had printed the cause through the chain and lost it; an SSM run on an expired session stopped saying "unable to load credentials", and MCP's credential rewrite could no longer see that phrase through `{e}` either. The changelog line claiming "the whole story" was untrue for these. `aws_ctx` now fills `message` from the SDK's `DisplayErrorContext` -- the SdkError's full chain -- when the service supplied neither code nor message.

Three functions named `destructive()` answered three different questions and disagreed: `Verb::destructive` (rebuild, terminate, DLQ delete/purge -- the classification MCP's annotations use), `Action::destructive` (terminate and ssm-run -- whether the TUI draws the confirm in red), and `ReplayVerb::destructive` (terminate only -- whether `audit replay` needs --yes). The vocabulary exists to end exactly that kind of drift. Renamed rather than merged: `Action::confirm_in_red`, `ReplayVerb::requires_yes`. No behaviour change. A first attempt DERIVED the TUI's answer from `Verb::destructive`, which turned a TUI rebuild red -- and `action_destructive_covers_terminate_and_ssm_run` failed, because rebuild-not-red is pinned there on purpose. That is a UX decision for the maintainer, so it was backed out and recorded in BACKLOG.md as a question. `cancel_pending_dispatch` built its audit label with `format!("{:?}", modal.action)` -- the rename hazard `Action::audit_label` exists to remove. It uses `audit_label()` now. An equivalent mutant today (the variant names equal the shared spellings); it guards a future rename, which no current test can simulate.

The modal now builds no `LintContext` of its own, so the "only lint/ builds one" guard has no exceptions. - EBL011 judges only on a usable queue answer: a failed last check — after a depth or after "no DLQ" — is a gap, not the stale value. - The TUI records why the platform fetch failed, so the gap names the failure instead of saying "not loaded" indefinitely. - Gap text no longer prefixes an op the error already names.

One commit because the parts share hunks in five files; each is listed and separately tested. - `ebl008_could_fire`: a missing platform list costs nothing on a custom platform or an empty stack (no version family to compare). The gap was reported for every such env — on `:explain` "could not be evaluated" where the answer is "doesn't apply". - `Platforms::report_once` / `ReportedOnce`: the fleet surfaces (`ebman lint`, MCP `lint`) report a failed listing once for the run — one degrade reason naming the region, one `skipped_envs` entry — and only when an env in scope could have had EBL008 fire. fc767cd made it one line per env over the same cause, dropping the region label and, on MCP, repeating the credential hint N times. The per-env surfaces (TUI, `ebman explain`) keep the per-env gap they need. - `lint::inputs::assemble`: every fetch path builds its inputs through one pure function. The confirm modal built them by hand from `EnvLintInputs::bare`, where a new input field would silently default to `None`; it now calls `LintSnapshot::finish_fetched`. - `WorkerDlq`, `dlq_depth_gap` and the platform-cache reading move to `app::tui_lint` — nothing but the TUI has those caches. - The TUI's platform cache is the home region's: an env in another region under a fan-out reports EBL008 as not evaluated instead of being judged against the wrong catalogue. - Guard inverted: within `src/app`, only `tui_lint.rs` calls the lint engine (`only_tui_lint_calls_the_lint_engine_in_app`). The list-based guard could not see a fourth TUI lint path. - MCP: a per-env option-settings failure no longer reads "fetch_env_lint_inputs failed: DescribeConfigurationSettings failed:"; it goes through `with_credential_fix` like every other entry. - Source-scan wiring pins replaced by tests through the mock backends, which do reach the live MCP and CLI paths: one EBL008 entry however many envs, none on custom platforms, the credential fix on every kind of entry. Only `ebman explain`'s wiring stays a scan (process::exit).

The instructions, `mcp setup` and headless.md now say ebman SENDS the confirmation to the client to put to the operator. - `dlq_undo` is split out. It never asks, on any client, so allowing it is a standing grant whatever the connection; the note offered the allow rule for "the tool you called" with a consequence true only of `confirm_action`. - The undo window is stated (minutes from the delete, from the constant) instead of asking the agent to say how long is left — the only live source was the tool the host had just denied. - "NOT a declined confirmation": a host denial must not be read as the final decline `ASK_NOTE` describes. - `doctor` carries the whole remedy instead of pointing at the instructions, whose long form is past Claude Code's cut; it is gated on `.any()`, the predicate the write tools are listed on. - `mcp setup` says the rule is named after the registration, that it is not needed under --read-only, and leaves dlq_undo out. - headless.md: the classifier's reason is no longer stated as fact; the token and undo windows are pinned to the code by `headless_md_states_the_token_and_undo_windows_the_code_has`. - CHANGELOG no longer says auto mode stops blocking (it still does; what changed is the explanation and the setup guidance). - BACKLOG: the `requiresUserInteraction` item marks its Claude Code claims as documented, not observed.

Not suppressed by a deploy freeze, which lifts mid-connection. - The token TTL and undo window in the tool descriptions come from the constants, like the instructions and headless.md. - `the_must_know_digest_survives_a_2048_char_cut` now covers --read-only, safety.read_only, an unparseable safety config and the longest narrow grant; requires each scope line inside the cut; forbids write guidance where nothing can write; and forbids an indentation hole anywhere. CAUGHT: write guidance under a refusal, digest removed, a missing `\`. - doctor's note is one paragraph (CAUGHT with the heading version). - The `agent_digest` doc comment no longer swallows `agent_summary`'s. - BACKLOG: whether the long form should shrink now that the guidance exists in three copies.

On Claude Code the long form was never read, and it held the same rules a third time beside the digest and `doctor` — the drift surface the 0.45.1 re-review flagged. `WriteScope::agent_rules` replaces both: one rule per line, at most 1544 characters on any combination of grant, client and standing refusal. It carries the three rules only the long form had (surface a plan in a line rather than re-arguing it; a granted verb you cannot see usually means the client needs a restart; read the tool CAVEATS), and the READ-ONLY line keeps the self-modification warning. The reasons for each rule moved to its doc comment. `ASK_NOTE`, `OPENED_BY_ASK_NOTE`, `host_denial_note` and the trailing capabilities block are gone; `doctor` still carries the host-denial remedy whole via `host_denial_body`. `the_whole_instructions_text_fits_a_2048_char_cut` now requires the entire text under the cut on every combination, plus each rule line. CAUGHT: text padded past the cut, the CAVEATS line dropped, the self-modification warning dropped. The tests that pinned long-form prose now pin the same properties on the new text; the host-denial remedy details are checked on `host_denial_body`, which doctor uses.

Dropping the long form (8043188) lost four rules an agent acts on; each is back as a clause, and the text is still at most 1676 of the 2048 characters Claude Code shows: - READ-ONLY: `--allow-writes=verb,verb` for just what is needed, and the write verbs ebman has, from the tool table — unlisted, a read-only agent cannot tell ebman has DLQ resend/delete/purge and reaches for the AWS CLI. - Tell-once: each write is still sent to the operator to accept or decline — the half that says the gate exists. - Ask: `confirm_action` can take as long as a person takes, or come back at once. - Refusal: no confirmation lifts it; only the operator's control can. - Host line: a denied undo is urgent. Each is a needle in `the_whole_instructions_text_fits_a_2048_char_cut`; CAUGHT with each dropped. `a_standing_refusal_outranks_the_ask_note` asserted an upper-case `OPERATOR` the text never used, so it could not fail; it now checks the ask line's own words (CAUGHT with the ask line ungated). Docs: headless.md listed queue peek and `:why` as not exposed (both are tools); commands.md said a person answers and counted five write verbs (eight); safety-and-privacy.md made the same person-answers claim twice. CHANGELOG and the archive say doctor carries the host-denial remedy, not "the remedies". Stale "digest"/"long form" comments fixed.

Before 0.30 these used the session's region, which under a fan-out showed another region's data under the right environment's name, and could dispatch a destructive action against a same-named environment at home. - **Per-env / per-account safety pins** in `config.toml` (`safety.envs.NAME.read_only = true` / `safety.accounts.NAME.read_only = true`) refuse destructive actions even when the global `--read-only` toggle is off. These **fail closed**: a line under `safety.` that ebman cannot act on — field omitted, field misspelled, value not a boolean, or a field only a newer version understands — refuses *every* write until it is fixed, rather than being skipped. Earlier versions skipped such lines silently, so a mistyped pin left the environment writeable while the operator believed it locked. A `config.toml` that exists but cannot be read at all (permissions, a non-UTF-8 byte, a failing disk) refuses the same way; a *missing* config file does not, since there are no pins to miss. Same reasoning as the freeze marker below: where a safety mechanism cannot be evaluated, the safe reading is to refuse. Enforced CLI-side too: `ebman action` (rebuild / restart / terminate / deploy / rollout), `ebman audit replay`, and `ebman lint --fix` all refuse pinned targets before dispatch (exit 3). - **Session-scoped fleet freeze**: `:freeze-deploys [REASON]` (or `:incident START "headline"`, which sets the same lock plus a header banner and audit lines) makes every destructive op refuse until `:thaw-deploys` / `:incident END` or exit. Since 0.28 it also persists a **pid-scoped marker** at `~/.cache/ebman/freeze.json` (0600) so *other processes* honour it — the MCP write tools and the CLI write paths (`ebman action`, `audit replay`, `lint --fix`) refuse while a live TUI session holds a freeze. The pid keeps the semantics session-scoped: a crashed TUI's marker is ignored (and cleaned up) by the next reader. The check is `kill(pid, 0)` plus the process's start time: a pid that is in use but whose holder started *after* the marker was written cannot be the session that wrote it, so the marker is stale. That closes the pid-reuse window — pids are handed out sequentially and wrap, so a crashed session's marker would otherwise be adopted by an unrelated process within days. Anything the check cannot determine (no start time available, an unparseable timestamp) is treated as still-owned: a phantom freeze refuses writes and is fixed by deleting the file, whereas a lifted freeze lets writes through during a declared incident. Deleting the file remains the documented last resort. Deleting the file is the manual unfreeze of last resort.

Before 0.30 these used the session's region, which under a fan-out showed another region's data under the right environment's name, and could dispatch a destructive action against a same-named environment at home. - **Per-env / per-account safety pins** in `config.toml` (`safety.envs.NAME.read_only = true` / `safety.accounts.NAME.read_only = true`) refuse destructive actions even when the global `--read-only` toggle is off. These **fail closed**: a line under `safety.` that ebman cannot act on — field omitted, field misspelled, value not a boolean, or a field only a newer version understands — refuses *every* write until it is fixed, rather than being skipped. Earlier versions skipped such lines silently, so a mistyped pin left the environment writeable while the operator believed it locked. A `config.toml` that exists but cannot be read at all (permissions, a non-UTF-8 byte, a failing disk) refuses the same way; a *missing* config file does not, since there are no pins to miss. Same reasoning as the freeze marker below: where a safety mechanism cannot be evaluated, the safe reading is to refuse. Enforced CLI-side too: `ebman action` (rebuild / restart / terminate / deploy / rollout), `ebman audit replay`, and `ebman lint --fix` all refuse pinned targets before dispatch (exit 3). - **Session-scoped fleet freeze**: `:freeze-deploys [REASON]` (or `:incident START "headline"`, which sets the same lock plus a header banner and audit lines) makes every destructive op refuse until `:thaw-deploys` / `:incident END` or exit. Since 0.28 it also persists a **pid-scoped marker** at `~/.cache/ebman/freeze.json` (0600) so *other processes* honour it — the MCP write tools and the CLI write paths (`ebman action`, `audit replay`, `lint --fix`) refuse while a live TUI session holds a freeze. The pid keeps the semantics session-scoped: a crashed TUI's marker is ignored (and cleaned up) by the next reader. The check is `kill(pid, 0)` plus the process's start time: a pid that is in use but whose holder started *after* the marker was written cannot be the session that wrote it, so the marker is stale. That closes the pid-reuse window — pids are handed out sequentially and wrap, so a crashed session's marker would otherwise be adopted by an unrelated process within days. Anything the check cannot determine (no start time available, an unparseable timestamp) is treated as still-owned: a phantom freeze refuses writes and is fixed by deleting the file, whereas a lifted freeze lets writes through during a declared incident. Deleting the file remains the documented last resort. Deleting the file is the manual unfreeze of last resort. Not durable policy — it lives and dies with the TUI session that set it. diff --git a/src/cli/mcp/mod.rs b/src/cli/mcp/mod.rs index 4dca58c..c17d9de 100644 --- a/src/cli/mcp/mod.rs +++ b/src/cli/mcp/mod.rs @@ -585,7 +585,7 @@ impl WriteScope { "- Tell the operator once, before you plan a write: writes are open only \ because YOUR CLIENT can ask them.
