Summary

  • recognize only agent-policy.audit_event.v1.1 for bound audit-event evidence
  • validate the published v1.1 event shape before canonicalization and digesting in both producer and consumer paths
  • pin the v2 JSON schemas to that profile while preserving released v1 unbound evidence compatibility
  • clarify that schema validation proves event structure, not reviewer identity or artifact authenticity

Security properties

  • arbitrary JSON objects, unsupported profiles, malformed events, and event contents that differ from the recorded binding fail closed; the binding does not authenticate coordinated replacement of both manifest and event
  • public evidence still contains only the sanitized repository-relative path and controlled binding metadata, including the profile and public-safe digest
  • raw event bodies, local absolute paths, and event markers are not emitted

Verification

  • focused producer, consumer, schema, documentation, and CLI contract tests
  • changelog validation
  • independent security/regression review with no remaining actionable findings

This PR does not cut or publish a release.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for the recognized agent-policy.audit_event.v1.1 audit-event profile.
    • Audit events now require validated fields and published schema compliance.
    • Updated command-line guidance for attaching audit events.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Unsupported profiles, malformed events, invalid text, mismatched content, and arbitrary JSON are now rejected.
    • Evidence consumers fail safely when audit-event validation fails.
  • Documentation

    • Updated changelog, contract, and quickstart guidance to reflect profile-specific validation and schema selection.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change standardizes agent-policy audit events on agent-policy.audit_event.v1.1. Producers and consumers now validate the profile, payload shape, canonical content, and schema version. Tests and documentation use structured audit-event fixtures.

Changes

Audit event contract

Layer / File(s) Summary
Profile and payload validation
src/agent_guard/evidence_pack.py
Defines the supported profile and validates required fields, decisions, bounded strings, paths, and canonical content.
Manifest profile contract
src/agent_guard/schemas/*.json
Requires the exact agent-policy.audit_event.v1.1 profile in v2 evidence schemas.
Producer and contract documentation
README.md, docs/*.md, CHANGELOG.md, src/agent_guard/cli/*.py, scripts/check_wheel_contract.py
Documents the fixed profile, validation behavior, schema selection, and structured audit-event fixture.
Producer validation coverage
tests/audit_event_helpers.py, tests/cli/test_evidence_pack.py, tests/cli/test_report_output.py
Uses shared event fixtures and tests binding, malformed payloads, unsupported profiles, numeric lexemes, Unicode, and file-boundary cases.
Consumer and contract tests
tests/test_evidence_consumer.py, tests/test_evidence_contract_examples.py, tests/test_schemas.py, tests/test_contract_stability.py, tests/test_windows_file_boundaries.py
Tests consumer rejection, forged bindings, replacement content, schema selection, profile mismatches, and structured event fixtures.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 27501

The PR’s path validation still allows traversal, Windows absolute or network paths, and URI-style paths to be recorded in audit-event bindings, weakening the repository-relative evidence contract and potentially exposing unintended locations. This should be corrected before merge.

Poem

A rabbit checks the event in line,
“v1.1” makes the profile shine.
Bad shapes stop before they bind,
Replaced content leaves tracks behind.
Structured fields hop through the test,
Canonical bytes do the rest.

Reject non-repository-relative path values.

Line 205 rejects only paths that start with /. Values such as ../private/event.json, C:\Users\alice\event.json, \\server\share\event.json, and file://host/event.json pass validation and are accepted for canonical binding. Reject parent traversal, Windows drive and UNC roots, backslashes, and URI schemes before digesting.

The PR objective requires sanitized repository-relative paths.
