fix(consent-record): tolerate filler words in authorization clauses - #898
Merged
Merged
Conversation
The operator-instruction affirmation check required the provider, model
and purpose to appear in a rigid, directly-adjacent grammar. Any ordinary
words between them (a harness name, an effort level, an imperative verb
like "perform") made the clause unparseable, and the refusal then blamed
a missing purpose even when the purpose was present verbatim -- forcing
an operator round trip through the less-provenanced --source interactive
workaround.
has_authorized_relationship now falls back to an order-tolerant check:
provider token, model words, and a purpose phrase must each appear in
the affirmative clause, in that relative order, with any words between
them. The exact-grammar match stays as a fast path. When the fallback
still fails despite provider/model/purpose all being present, the
refusal now says so plainly ("could not parse an authorization clause")
instead of misreporting a missing purpose. Every existing negation,
question, other-PR, and mismatched-field refusal is unchanged.
Closes #896.

v0.9.14 is tagged and this branch changes shipped content (consent-record.sh), so tests/check-release-version.sh fails. Move source and generated manifests to the next unpublished patch (prepare-next-version.sh cannot run from a linked worktree, so this applies its bump-version.sh + build-plugin.sh steps by hand).

The previous round only tolerated filler words after one of a fixed set
of clause openers, so a real operator turn with a doubled verb and no
recognized opener at all ("make sure you have codex have gpt-6-astra
xhigh perform an adversarial review") still failed to parse, and the
refusal misreported a missing purpose again.
has_authorized_relationship now runs the ordered provider<model<purpose
check over the entire quote-stripped instruction, not a clause extracted
by a fixed opener list; the exact clause grammar is tried first and
remains the fast path. The loose check requires the provider/model span
to not be the very first word (rejecting a bare, unqualified mention),
and the existing negation/question/other-PR safety checks are unchanged
and still run afterward. The "could not parse an authorization clause"
refusal now fires whenever provider, model and purpose are all present
but the grant still fails, matching this looser check.

A blind adversarial review (gpt-6-astra, xhigh) found that the whole- instruction ordered check from the previous commit granted "Use codex with gpt-6-astra to explain how to request consent for an adversarial review" -- provider, model, and purpose appear in order, but the operator asked for an explanation, not a review. The old anchored grammar rejected this; the looser check needed the same protection without losing the real #896 turns it was built to accept. has_ordered_authorization_words now requires the purpose to be governed by a performative verb (perform, run, do, execute, conduct, carry out, start, kick off, give/get me) appearing before it, and refuses outright when any inquiry/explanation phrasing (explain, describe, how to/do, tell me, show me, document, summarize, walk me through, teach) appears anywhere in the instruction -- naming provider/model/purpose is not itself an instruction to act. The refusal names which condition failed via a new LOOSE_MATCH_REASON instead of a generic message. Every existing safety check and both real #896 turns are unaffected.

A negated instruction that still satisfies the ordered/performative
check ("make sure you have codex have gpt-6-astra xhigh do not perform
an adversarial review") refused correctly via the existing negation
safety check, but printed the generic "missing purpose" message --
misleading, since the purpose words were present and the real cause was
the negation.
affirmation_refusal now takes a not_affirmative flag, set whenever
provider, model and purpose words are all present but the instruction
fails the existing safety checks (negation, question mark, other-PR,
etc.), and prints "instruction is not affirmative" for that case ahead
of the other reasons. Also tightens the P1 explanation-refusal wording
to "instruction asks for an explanation, not a review" per review.

- Around line 511-526: Update has_ordered_authorization_words to reject deferral
or retrospective wording only when it appears before the performative verb,
setting LOOSE_MATCH_REASON and returning false. Preserve authorization for
present requests with future-time references after the performative verb, such

CodeRabbit's review of PR #898 showed the ordered fallback granting "when we are ready, have codex with gpt-6-astra perform an adversarial review" and "last time we had codex ... perform ...": every ordered token was present, so a deferred or past reference counted as a present request. Deferral and retrospective words now refuse when they precede the performative verb, with their own reason; a time reference after the verb ("perform a review tomorrow") still grants.

Why
consent-record.sh grant --source operator-instructionrefused a plain operator turn naming the provider, model, and purpose ("Have the local codex harness with gpt-6-astra at xhigh effort perform an adversarial review") because its rigid grammar required those three to sit directly adjacent, then blamed the purpose for what was actually an unparseable clause. This forced an operator round trip through the less-provenanced--source interactiveworkaround.What
has_authorized_relationshipnow falls back to an order-tolerant check within the affirmative clause: the provider token, model words, and a purpose phrase must each appear, in that relative order, with any words between them. The exact-grammar match remains as a fast path, and every existing negation, question, other-PR, and mismatched-field refusal is unchanged. When provider/model/purpose are all present but the clause still can't be parsed, the refusal now says so ("could not parse an authorization clause") instead of misreporting a missing purpose.Also bumps
