Policies leave the npm package and become packs — published as GitHub releases,
installed by digest, chosen by the person installing them rather than by us.

What a user does now

failproofai config                    setup: agents, daemon, cloud — NOT policies
failproofai policies                  what is on this machine
failproofai policies add              pick from a list
failproofai policies add block-sudo   a policy — no slash
failproofai policies add acme/guard   a pack — slash means source
failproofai policies add core         ours, from this package, offline
failproofai policies remove <what>    a policy, or a whole pack
failproofai policies show acme/guard  what a pack holds, before installing
failproofai publish ./my-policies.mjs build + release + upload

policy, pack and p all still work — they translate to policies, so
nothing anyone has typed before breaks.

Setup stops choosing policies for you

The wizard's policy step is gone, and so is the larger offender behind it: the
opening "Recommended" path skipped that question entirely and installed
RECOMMENDED_POLICIES, fifteen hardcoded builtin names, on behalf of somebody
who had not seen the list. failproofai ships no policies of its own now — they
arrive as packs — so pre-ticking our set is a product decision taken for a
user who cannot yet evaluate it.

Whatever the scope already had is carried through untouched: installHooks runs
with replace: true, and passing anything less would switch off policies the
user turned on. Running setup twice must never reduce protection.

policy-presets.ts is deleted. customPoliciesEnabled is left alone in both
modes rather than written from a checkbox that no longer exists — which also
closes the leak where finishing setup disabled every convention policy on disk.

Consequence, stated plainly: a fresh machine finishes setup with nothing
enforcing but block-failproofai-commands, the compiled always-on guard. That is
now the intended state.

Three commands become one

Two of them were a single letter apart and did unrelated things. policies add
takes either a policy name or a pack source, told apart by a slash — a policy
name matches /^[A-Za-z0-9._-]+$/, so a slash is already illegal in one and
unambiguous in the other. Same rule npm and docker use, and nobody has to
discover a flag before they can install somebody else's policies.

pack list was two commands wearing one name — bare it described this machine,
with an argument it described a pack somewhere else. Those are different
questions and they are different words now.

Installing shows you the list

policies add with no argument used to answer "Missing policy name" and tell you
to go read a list elsewhere and come back — the command telling the user to do
the work it exists for. The same objection applied to a bare pack add, which
took the publisher's defaults and only afterwards printed what it had decided: a
default is a suggestion, and a suggestion nobody saw is a decision taken on their
behalf.

One screen now, every policy grouped by pack and category, current state
pre-ticked, built on the multiSelect the wizard already uses rather than a
second picker.

Publishing is one command

Four before, two of which published nothing: installs read
releases/download/<tag>/<asset> and never touch the git tree, so git init and
gh repo create were for humans reading the source. A publisher could only learn
that by reading pack-store.ts.

It goes over the GitHub REST API, not gh release create — our own
block-gh-pipeline builtin matches that exact command, and shipping a publish
path our own guardrail blocks is not a thing to do.

Two silent failures are refused: a tag that does not describe the manifest
version, and a private repository (which publishes to nobody — pack add sends
no Authorization header at all, by design).

Help: 152 lines to 26

Every flag of every command was inlined on the index, so the thing you read to
find a command was the thing you read to use one, and the cost fell on the person
who knew least. One screen now, plus failproofai help <command> — which
dispatches to <command> --help, so there is exactly one copy of each and the
two spellings cannot drift.

Three things that were documented nowhere reachable now are: update --help and
migrate --help both exited 1 with "Unexpected argument" because SUBCOMMANDS
omitted them, and --hook — spawned on every tool call — appeared only in a
module docblock and one error string.

Colour

The design system defines two accent hues and says so explicitly. tui.ts
carried three: selection and "enabled" in #ff2e88, in no brand token, next to a
near-duplicate logoPink one byte from the real one. Collapsed to a single brand
pink, so the logomark and the prompts cannot drift.

A 256-colour tier is added between the two that existed — resolution jumped
straight from 24-bit to basic ANSI, so every terminal that does 256 but does not
advertise COLORTERM, which is most of them over SSH, fell all the way back.

Fixes found on the way

  • The release tag was never checked against the pack version. spec.tag only
    built URLs, version only came from the manifest, and the two were never
    compared — so a pack built --version 1.0.0 and released under v1.0.0
    installed cleanly while recording a version that matched no URL. It bit
    immediately: pack build told publishers to tag one way while this repo tags
    the other, so house style broke your own pack. A leading v is accepted; any
    other disagreement fails the install naming both values.
  • A tagless add misresolved on prereleases. Resolution reads the
    releases/latest redirect, which GitHub does not issue for draft or prerelease
    releases, so an install landed on an older stable tag or nothing at all.
  • A long policy name ate its own description. The name column caps at 24 and
    the description budget is sized against that cap, but padEnd pads and does
    not truncate. Measured on a real pty:
    sanitize-connection-strings and sanitize-private-key-content both landed on
    exactly column 80 — nothing wrapped, nothing looked wrong, the description was
    simply cut by the terminal instead of by ellipsize and lost its .
  • policies add answered a script with an exit code it could not act on. The
    no-terminal refusal was checked after the no-packs branch, so a fresh machine
    running it from a pipe got the empty-state screen at exit 0.
  • The dashboard offered a builtin source filter nothing can produce.
  • pack-manifest.ts documented a safety condition that had stopped being
    true.
    It said its fail-open was defensible only while the builtins shipped
    compiled in, and that the day they became a fetched pack this must be revisited
    rather than inherited. That day arrived; the denying did move to
    pack-failclosed.ts, so only the comment was lying.

The 8 failures in dogfood-configs.test.ts on a contributor's machine are local
only — those configs are skip-worktree and their working copies get emptied. A
clean clone at HEAD runs them 63/63.

Not in this PR

docs/ still documents the old command spellings — 177 references to
failproofai pack … / failproofai policy … across 15 locales. They keep
working as aliases, but the site should be updated; that wants its own pass on
the English source, then the translation job. FailproofAI/policies' README
likewise still says builtins.

Summary

The pack system is broadly implemented and targeted type/tests passed. One medium-confidence data-safety issue remains: artifact digest equality can delete an unrelated installed pack.

Changes

  • Introduces GitHub-release policy packs with manifest validation, digest pinning, loading, fail-closed handling, selection, and publishing.
  • Unifies policy/pack CLI workflows and adds dashboard pack management.
  • Moves enforcement metadata into packs while retaining the compiled self-protection guard.
  • Adds incremental audit caching, home migration updates, and TUI presentation changes.

Validation

  • Passed docker run --rm -v /review/input/workspace:/workspace -v hermes-pr738-node-modules:/workspace/node_modules -w /workspace oven/bun:latest sh -lc 'bun install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-scripts && bunx tsc --noEmit && bun run test:run -- __tests__/hooks/pack-store.test.ts __tests__/hooks/pack-shared-artifact.test.ts __tests__/audit/incremental-scan.test.ts __tests__/audit/incremental-fallback.test.ts' — Dependency install, TypeScript check, and targeted pack/audit tests exited successfully in a nested container. (21s)

Findings

No blocking findings.

1 advisory finding
  • Medium/High Do not treat identical artifact bytes as a pack rename — priorRecordFor accepts a record with the same SHA-256 even when its id differs (src/hooks/pack-store.ts:618). upsertInstalled then removes every differently named record with that digest (src/hooks/pack-store.ts:1157). Thus, after installing acme/one with a narrowed selection, adding other/two whose entry artifact is byte-identical replaces and removes acme/one; digest equality proves shared code, not that the user intended a rename. The loader already supports multiple pack records sharing one artifact. (src/hooks/pack-store.ts:618)

Open questions

None.

Policy overrides

None.

Update — the package no longer ships policies at all

policy-pack/ is out of files and out of build, installBundledPack is
deleted, and core is a spelling of FailproofAI/policies — resolved in
pack-store so the CLI and the dashboard cannot disagree about it, then fetched,
digest-verified and pinned like anybody else's pack.

A pack that ships inside the binary is a policy set chosen for the user and
written to their disk before they asked, and it gave our own policies a delivery
route no third-party pack could use — the opposite of what this lane exists to
make possible. Offline install now fails where it used to silently succeed,
which is the honest answer: there is nothing local left to install. An
already-installed pack keeps enforcing offline; only installing needs the
network.

Two things checked rather than assumed, because both would have been quiet
breakages:

  • The audit cache key does not move. Packs are folded in by
    id|version|sha256, so a machine that had the vendored copy and now has the
    fetched one only keys identically if the bytes match. They do — 9e63e6e2…
    both ways — so no existing user takes a cold rescan on upgrade.
  • Audit scores identically with nothing vendored. registerFromVendoredPack
    already returned false for an absent directory and fell back to the compiled
    implementations, its own comment naming "a tarball packed without it" as an
    expected case.

The fp-reset migration deliberately does not fetch: resetHome is
synchronous and runs inside failproofai update, and an upgrade that blocks on
github.com — and fails when it is unreachable — is worse than one that finishes.
The carried names stay in config, which is what the no-pack fallback reads.

Three more fixes this turned up:

  • Only the deleted bundled branch ever suggested --policy, so every
    third-party pack was told about --category and --all and never about
    taking a single policy.
  • policies remove promised "re-adding it works offline", which stopped being
    true.
  • The no-pack fallback warning told a stranded machine to run
    failproofai update "to move them into the pack that ships with it" — both
    halves false now. It names failproofai policies add core. Nothing had been
    asserting on that string; a test does now.

Rebased on latest main. Two failure sets on this branch are not from it,
both verified rather than asserted:

  • dogfood-configs (8) fail only in a working tree where those skip-worktree
    configs have been emptied locally; a clean clone at HEAD runs them 63/63.
  • python-version-pipeline (4) come from main: both _version.py files say
    0.0.1b2 while the newest changelog section is 0.0.1b1. This branch touches
    no file under sdk/ or fp-cloud-cli/. The auto-bump commits that caused it
    carry [skip ci], which is why nothing caught it — it will now fail on every
    branch cut from main until a 0.0.1b2 section exists.
  • Supply Chain is red for three chromadb advisories with no fixed version;
    re-running the previously green scan on unchanged code fails identically.

Update — choosing at install time, one linear setup, and a TUI pass

Installing a pack now asks instead of announcing. policies add <source>
took the publisher's defaultEnabled flags and printed the result afterwards,
which turns a recommendation into a decision made on the user's behalf — by
which point the policies are on their machine. A human who names no flags gets
the pack's list first, defaults pre-ticked, grouped by category. It reads the
MANIFEST only, so deciding about a stranger's pack still never downloads a
stranger's code. Flags and non-TTY skip it entirely.

Setup is one linear flow. The opening "Recommended or Customize?" is gone —
a question about the wizard rather than the machine, unanswerable until you know
the alternatives, which you learn by picking one. Recommended then took global
scope, the detected CLIs and fifteen unseen policies. Three questions remain, in
the order the machine needs them: the daemon (first, the only one needing a
password), which harnesses, and whether to connect. Scope is global always; the
harness step is now always asked rather than inferred.

The listing stopped contradicting itself. It said "not installed" directly
above an installed pack, because it was reporting whether HOOKS are wired — a
different question from whether policies exist, and one that hid the state that
actually matters: thirty-eight policies present and nothing calling failproofai
to run them. It reads N on · NOT ENFORCING now.

A TUI pass against the house guide, which found two things looking could not:

  • Every keystroke redrew the region as TWO writes — clear, then lines. A
    terminal may paint between them, so the cleared state is a real frame:
    invisible locally, a blank flash per keypress over SSH or in tmux. One write
    now, wrapped in synchronized output (DECSET 2026).
  • The NOT-ENFORCING warning was hand-wrapped into four lines while warning()
    wraps each element it is given, so the author's breaks became paragraph breaks
    and wrapped again inside themselves — leaving "them." alone on a line at 60
    columns.

is also gone: the design system forbids emoji, and it takes emoji
presentation on most terminals, which makes it two columns wide and silently
broke the hang-indent of the block it sat in. Section rules move to the brand's
heavy ━━, and becomes the real ▮▮ mark.

Already met and worth not re-litigating: three colour tiers degrading to 16,
zero escapes in piped output, legible under NO_COLOR, no colour-only meaning.
One deliberate departure from the guide — it says refuse below a minimum
terminal size; that is right for a full-screen TUI and wrong for a CLI that
prints and exits, so this degrades instead, verified to 40 columns.

Gates

unit 4306 passing · e2e 333 passing · tsc clean · lint 0 errors.

The 15 remaining failures are three pre-existing groups, none from this branch:
4 inherited from main (both Python packages committed 0.0.1b2 with no
changelog section, via auto-bump commits carrying [skip ci]), 8 local-only
dogfood-configs in a tree where those skip-worktree files were emptied, and
3 in fp-reset that hang on the migration's spool flush — reproducible at
committed HEAD with this work stashed, dependent on the machine having a real
daemon installed, which CI does not. That last group is not root-caused.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change moves policy enforcement and management to installed policy packs. It adds pack validation, integrity checks, loading, fail-closed handling, CLI and dashboard workflows, audit integration, attribution, shared TUI rendering, and an always-on self-protection policy.

Changes

Policy pack architecture

Layer / File(s) Summary
Policy catalog and enforcement contracts
src/hooks/policy-catalog.ts, src/hooks/builtin-policies.ts, src/hooks/policy-registry.ts, src/hooks/policy-types.ts, src/hooks/policy-evaluator.ts
Separates policy metadata from implementations, carries parameter schemas through registration, and makes block-failproofai-commands always on.
Pack storage and verification
src/hooks/pack-manifest.ts, src/hooks/pack-store.ts, src/hooks/fp-home.ts, src/hooks/fp-reset.ts, scripts/build-policy-pack.mjs, package.json
Adds manifest validation, SHA-256 verification, atomic activation, bundled-pack installation, remote fetching, selection handling, and generated package assets.
Pack loading and enforcement
src/hooks/custom-hooks-loader.ts, src/hooks/pack-failclosed.ts, src/hooks/handler.ts
Loads pack artifacts with identity and integrity metadata, records failures, reconciles declared policies, and applies scoped fail-closed behavior.
CLI, dashboard, and policy state
src/hooks/manager.ts, src/hooks/pack-cli.ts, app/actions/pack-actions.ts, app/actions/get-hooks-config.ts, app/policies/hooks-client.tsx
Adds unified policy commands, pack publishing, server actions, dashboard controls, policy selection, listing, preview, removal, and pack-aware configuration payloads.
Audit and attribution
src/audit/cache.ts, src/audit/replay.ts, src/audit/index.ts, crates/fpai-collect/src/sources/hooks/transform.rs
Includes installed pack identities in audit cache keys, loads vendored packs during replay, and persists pack identity in activity and aggregate attribution.
Shared terminal rendering
src/hooks/tui.ts, src/hooks/cloud-enrollment-cli.ts, src/hooks/harness-cli.ts, src/hooks/session-pause-cli.ts, src/audit/schedule-cli.ts
Adds width-aware rendering primitives and applies them to status, listing, pause, harness, and schedule output.
Validation and documentation
__tests__/*, docs/*, README.md, CHANGELOG.md
Adds coverage for pack lifecycle, enforcement, replay equivalence, attribution, rendering, and updated policy counts. Documentation covers installation, publishing, failure behavior, and CLI usage.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to a940a

This change reorganizes policy setup, installation, publishing, and enforcement, but the current version can disable existing protections, execute a rejected pack before refusing it, bypass safeguards on some commands, and mis-handle or lose selected policies; required CI preparation is also incomplete. These correctness and security risks should be fixed before merging.

Hermes found blocking issues that should be addressed.

Review coverage was incomplete, but the concrete blocking findings below are sufficient to request changes.

High: Pack policy parameters saved by the dashboard are never applied

  • Rule: COR-001
  • Location: src/hooks/policy-evaluator.ts:45
  • Evidence: The dashboard reads and writes parameters using the manifest policy name (get-hooks-config.ts:261 and update-policy-params.ts:12), for example policyParams["block-sudo"]. The hook handler registers that same pack policy as pack/<id>@<version>/<name> (handler.ts:533-543). policy-evaluator.ts:45-49 only looks up that qualified registered name and permits a short-name fallback exclusively for failproofai/ policies. Thus a configured pack policy receives schema defaults (or {}) instead of the value the UI displays as saved; this affects the bundled core pack immediately after migration.
  • Required change: Carry a stable configuration key from the pack manifest into the registered policy and look it up during evaluation, or consistently use a namespaced pack key in both the dashboard and runtime. Preserve a documented compatibility lookup for existing core-policy parameter keys, and add an end-to-end test that changes a pack policy parameter and observes it in ctx.params.

High: Identical pack artifacts silently discard another pack's selected policies

  • Rule: COR-001
  • Location: src/hooks/custom-hooks-loader.ts:451
  • Evidence: custom-hooks-loader.ts:451-465 collapses all installed packs sharing an artifact path to one ResolvedPack. The winning record alone tags hooks at lines 502-504, and handler.ts uses only that tag's enabled selection to decide whether each hook registers. A user can install two distinct pack IDs publishing identical foo/bar artifact bytes, select only bar from the first and only foo from the second; foo from the second pack is never registered. pack-failclosed.ts:141-145 explicitly ignores a pack absent from the registered map, so this becomes a silent enforcement gap despite the second pack being recorded as enabled.
  • Required change: Do not collapse packs solely by artifact path when their selections or identities differ. Either register/evaluate each pack's selection independently while sharing one module import, or merge the selected policy sets and preserve per-pack attribution; if that cannot be represented safely, reject the conflicting installation. Add a regression test with two IDs sharing bytes and complementary --only selections.

Hermes found blocking issues that should be addressed.

Review coverage was incomplete, but the concrete blocking findings below are sufficient to request changes.

High: Pack policy parameters saved by the dashboard are not applied

  • Rule: COR-001
  • Location: src/hooks/policy-evaluator.ts:45
  • Evidence: The dashboard reads and writes parameters under the manifest's bare policy name (app/actions/get-hooks-config.ts:261 and app/actions/update-policy-params.ts:12). The handler registers a pack policy as pack/@/ (src/hooks/handler.ts:517-543). src/hooks/policy-evaluator.ts:45-49 only accepts a bare-name fallback for the failproofai/ namespace, so a pack policy receives schema defaults or {} instead of the saved value. This affects the bundled core pack after migration.
  • Required change: Give registered pack policies a stable configuration key and resolve it in the evaluator, or use the versioned pack key consistently in both UI and runtime while retaining compatibility for existing core keys. Add an end-to-end test that changes a pack parameter and observes it in ctx.params.

High: Identical pack artifacts silently omit another pack's selected policies

  • Rule: COR-001
  • Location: src/hooks/custom-hooks-loader.ts:451
  • Evidence: src/hooks/custom-hooks-loader.ts:451-465 collapses every pack sharing an artifact path to one record. Only the winning record tags the imported hooks, and src/hooks/handler.ts:428-453 applies only that record's enabled selection. Two pack IDs sharing a foo/bar artifact and selecting foo and bar respectively therefore register only the winner's selection. src/hooks/pack-failclosed.ts:105-110 deliberately ignores a pack absent from the registered map, so the omitted selected policy does not trigger the fail-closed guard.
  • Required change: Do not collapse distinct pack identities solely by artifact path. Import once if needed, but apply each pack's selection and preserve per-pack attribution; alternatively reject conflicting installations. Add a regression test using complementary selections on two IDs sharing one artifact.
1 advisory finding
  • High/High A remote pack can replace the bundled core pack by claiming its ID — installBundledPack records the trusted core pack as bundled:failproofai/core@ (src/hooks/pack-store.ts:762-773). In addPack, the source-binding refusal explicitly excludes any prior bundled source (src/hooks/pack-store.ts:631-640). Thus a release from an arbitrary repository declaring id failproofai/core is accepted and upsertInstalled replaces the bundled record. On subsequent events the migration shim is disabled because a pack is present (src/hooks/handler.ts:316-322), while only the attacker's declared subset is enforced. (src/hooks/pack-store.ts:631)

Identify policies by pack, not by name alone.

config.policies is the concatenation of every installed pack's policies (app/actions/get-hooks-config.ts lines 237-266). Two installed packs can declare the same policy name. In that case the optimistic map at line 1293 flips every row with that name, but line 1310 persists the change for one packId only. The other pack's row then displays a state that was never written, until the next reload().

The same identity gap affects the row key at line 1647: key={policy.name} produces duplicate React keys when two packs share a policy name.

🔧 Proposed fix: qualify the match with the pack id
         policies: prev.policies.map((p) =>
-          p.name === name ? { ...p, enabled: !currentlyEnabled } : p,
+          p.name === name && p.packId === policy.packId
+            ? { ...p, enabled: !currentlyEnabled }
+            : p,
         ),

Apply the matching change to the category row key:

-                key={policy.name}
+                key={`${policy.packId}@${policy.packVersion}:${policy.name}`}

Preserve legacy hook_id values for unattributed aggregates. When both pack_id and pack_version are absent, omit the pack segments. The current "-" segments change every pre-pack aggregate ID, so failproofai backfill can insert duplicate rows. Keep the segments for pack-attributed buckets so mixed minutes remain distinct.

The verdict comparison only reads decision.

The sanitize-* family returns the same decision while changing the sanitized payload. A pack copy that redacts differently from the compiled copy passes this test. Compare the transformed output as well, for example reason and the sanitized tool input, so a divergence in the sanitize family is detected.

The pack lane is used only when at least one pack policy registers, but partial coverage still passes.

registered > 0 accepts a pack that carries a single policy. In that case the audit runs one pack function plus 38 compiled functions and reports the pack lane as active. The comment above states the intent as "nothing came from the pack", yet the threshold does not detect partial coverage, which is the case that silently changes what the audit scored on.

Consider comparing registered against the count of wanted names that are not alwaysOn, and falling back when the pack covers fewer.

♻️ Proposed threshold change
-  // Nothing came from the pack: it loaded but carried none of the names the
-  // audit replays. Falling back is more honest than scoring on the compiled set
-  // while claiming the pack lane ran.
-  return registered > 0;

Update the cycle-guard rationale: POLICY_PARAMS_MAP no longer exists.

This PR removes POLICY_PARAMS_MAP from src/hooks/policy-evaluator.ts; the evaluator now reads policy.params off the registered policy. The rule itself stays correct, because builtin-policies.ts value-imports POLICY_CATALOG, so a value import back would still create a cycle. Only the cited mechanism is stale. The same stale text appears in __tests__/hooks/policy-catalog.test.ts lines 169-172.

📝 Proposed comment update

-*   `policy-evaluator.ts` builds `POLICY_PARAMS_MAP` from `BUILTIN_POLICIES` at

The cycle guard misses a multi-line import.

The filter keeps lines matching /^import\s/ and drops /^import\s+type\s/. A value import written across several lines puts the module specifier on a later line, so l.includes("builtin-policies") never matches the surviving line and the guard passes. The guard exists to catch exactly that import, so widen the scan to the whole file text.

♻️ Proposed hardening
-      const valueImports = src
-        .split("\n")
-        .filter((l) => /^import\s/.test(l) && !/^import\s+type\s/.test(l));

?? between the two classification passes can drop the documented pause precedence.

classifySelfInvocation documents that pause outranks cli. That ordering holds inside one pass only. Here classifySelfInvocation(cmd) runs first, and ?? short-circuits on any non-null result. If the raw command classifies as cli and only the shell-unescaped form classifies as pause, the policy emits the generic CLI message instead of the pause message. Example: failproofai config "--pause" — the quoted token fails PAUSE_FLAG_RE on the raw pass.

The decision stays deny in both cases, so enforcement is unaffected; only the message the agent reads changes.

♻️ Proposed fix to keep pause precedence across both passes
-  const kind = classifySelfInvocation(cmd) ?? classifySelfInvocation(unescaped);
+  const rawKind = classifySelfInvocation(cmd);
+  const unescapedKind = classifySelfInvocation(unescaped);

Read the installed packs once per listing.

readInstalledPacks() is called at Line 807, at Line 817, and again at Line 1002. Each call re-parses installed.json and, per src/hooks/pack-manifest.ts (parsePack, Lines 203-255), reads and SHA-256 hashes every pack artifact. The listing therefore hashes each artifact three times.

Also, packCount at Lines 815-824 counts selected names only. It ignores disabledCustomPolicies entries and the observe effect that the rows at Lines 1010-1023 use. The header can report N on while the rows below show OFF or OBS.

-  const knownPolicyNames = new Set<string>();

-    }

+  const knownPolicyNames = new Set<string>();
+  for (const pack of installedPacks.packs) {
+    for (const policy of pack.policies) knownPolicyNames.add(policy.name);
+  }
 
   const groups: Array<string[] | null> = [];
-  const packCount = (() => {
-    try {
-      return readInstalledPacks().packs.reduce(
-        (n, pack) => n + (pack.enabled ?? pack.policies.map((p) => p.name)).length,
-        0,
-      );
-    } catch {
-      return 0;

136-168: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Test reconciliation when packs share an artifact.

Add two pack fixtures that reference the same artifact and select different policies. Assert that both packs retain their declared policies and that both policies are enforced. Without this case, the loader can collapse the records and omit one pack’s selected policies without triggering fail-closed handling.

Protect the bundled core identity.

Add a regression case where a remote manifest claims failproofai/core but declares only a reduced policy set. The installation path must reject the remote identity, and the bundled core guard must remain active. Without this invariant, a remote pack can replace the trusted core record and remove migration protection.

Test pack-qualified policy parameters at runtime.

These assertions cover pack identity, version, and enabled state only. Add a case that saves a policy parameter, verifies the persisted key uses the pack-qualified policy name, and confirms runtime evaluation uses the saved value. Otherwise, the dashboard can report correct state while runtime registration falls back to defaults or {}.

I could not establish complete review coverage for 1cf9a8f2854b, so I did not approve it. I have no specific question to ask — this is a coverage gap on my side, not a request for input.

What the review did establish:

The pack migration, enforcement path, dashboard management, audit replay, and CLI rendering were reviewed. Two defects remain: a remote pack can impersonate the bundled core pack, and dashboard-saved pack parameters are never supplied to the running policy. No centrally configured validation commands were provided; a disposable-container dependency install did not complete, so the test suite was not completed.

Re-run with @hermes-exosphere review [focus] to point me at the part that matters most, or @hermes-exosphere reconsider [reason] if you believe the coverage was sufficient.

Hermes found blocking issues that should be addressed.

Review coverage was incomplete, but the concrete blocking findings below are sufficient to request changes.

High: Remote packs can replace the bundled official pack

  • Rule: SEC-001
  • Location: src/hooks/pack-store.ts:710
  • Evidence: addPack only rejects a source change when the prior record is not bundled: (src/hooks/pack-store.ts:710-718). Therefore, after core records bundled:failproofai/core@…, a remote release whose manifest declares id: "failproofai/core" passes this guard. upsertInstalled then replaces the record with the same ID (src/hooks/pack-store.ts:980-984), silently activating the remote artifact in place of the official one. The adjacent test covers only a prior GitHub source, not a bundled source (src/hooks/pack-build.test.ts:264-273).
  • Required change: Bind bundled IDs to their trusted source as well. Reject a remote source with an installed bundled ID unless the user explicitly removes it first, or allow only a designated official repository as an intentional migration path. Add a regression test installing the bundled pack before attempting a same-ID remote install.

High: Dashboard pack parameter changes are ignored at enforcement time

  • Rule: COR-001
  • Location: app/policies/hooks-client.tsx:1388
  • Evidence: The dashboard displays and saves parameters under the short manifest name: currentParams reads config.policyParams[policy.name] (app/actions/get-hooks-config.ts:261) and the client sends that same short name to updatePolicyParamsAction (app/policies/hooks-client.tsx:1381-1388), which persists it unchanged (app/actions/update-policy-params.ts:11-13). Pack policies are registered as pack/<id>@<version>/<name> (src/hooks/handler.ts:517-534), while the evaluator accepts only that exact key and allows a short-name fallback solely for failproofai/ policies (src/hooks/policy-evaluator.ts:40-49). Consequently, changes made in the dashboard are shown as saved but the pack continues receiving defaults.
  • Required change: Use one canonical pack policy key (pack/<id>@<version>/<name>) for dashboard reads and writes, or extend the evaluator with an unambiguous pack-aware key scheme. Add an end-to-end test that changes a pack parameter through the dashboard path and verifies the registered policy receives it.

685-719: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Refuse a foreign source before you import the artifact.

addPack writes the artifact at Line 685 and imports it at Line 691 through verifyArtifactRegisters. The id-to-source binding check runs afterwards at Line 710. prior is already known at Line 672, so the refusal can be decided before any remote code runs.

A pack served from an unrelated repository that declares an installed id is therefore imported and executed on the machine, and only then refused. Move the check above the artifact write and the import so the refusal costs nothing more than a download.

🔒 Proposed reordering
   const prior = priorRecordFor(fetched.id, fetched.artifactDigest);
+  const repoOf = (source: string): string => {
+    const at = source.lastIndexOf("@");
+    return at > source.indexOf(":") ? source.slice(0, at) : source;
+  };
+  if (
+    prior &&
+    !prior.source.startsWith("bundled:") &&
+    repoOf(prior.source) !== repoOf(formatPackSpec(spec))

854-872: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The header count disagrees with the pack rows below it.

packCount counts pack.enabled ?? all policy names only. The pack table at Lines 1049-1061 marks a row off when disabledCustomPolicies holds pack:<id>@<version>:<name>, and marks every row observe when pack.effect === "observe". A machine with disabled or observe-only pack policies therefore reads N on in the heading while the rows below show fewer enforcing policies.

Apply the same two rules when computing the count.

🐛 Proposed fix for the count
   const packCount = (() => {
     try {
       return readInstalledPacks().packs.reduce(
-        (n, pack) => n + (pack.enabled ?? pack.policies.map((p) => p.name)).length,
+        (n, pack) =>
+          pack.effect === "observe"
+            ? n
+            : n +

Report a thrown preview error instead of dropping it.

runPreview has no catch. run() at Lines 1881-1901 catches and forwards the message through onError. If previewPackWebAction rejects, for example on a transport failure, this promise rejects unhandled, preview stays null, and the user sees the busy state clear with no explanation.

688-768: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the unreachable pack command block.

Line 49 rewrites args[0] from "pack" to "policies" before runCli() runs, and args is the same module-scope array read at Line 693. The condition args[0] === "pack" can therefore never be true, so this whole block, including runPackCommand dispatch and the cli_pack telemetry, is dead code.

The block also keeps the retired help text alive (failproofai pack add core, failproofai pack list <source>, failproofai pack build …). That text now contradicts the new index at Lines 379-384 and the policies add|remove|show help at Lines 1277-1324, and nothing can print it. Delete the block so there is one copy of the pack documentation.

Inline comments:
In `@__tests__/hooks/unified-policies-surface.test.ts`:
- Around line 47-64: Update the test setup around cli and the test-run workflow
to build the bundled policy pack with bun run build:pack before bun run
test:run, ensuring policies add core has the required artifact. Include the
combined r.all output in failure messages so both stdout and stderr are visible
when tests fail.

In `@CHANGELOG.md`:
- Line 7: The changelog entry should distinguish removing the hardcoded
policy-selection wizard from removing policy installation: state that setup
still installs the selected bundled pack and retains the always-on Failproof AI
self-protection guard, while no longer preselecting the broader policy set.
Update the “wires the hooks and stops” and “ships no policies” wording
accordingly, preserving the existing scope-carryover and customPoliciesEnabled
details.

In `@src/hooks/configure-wizard.ts`:
- Around line 992-993: Update the apply loop in the configure-wizard flow to
read enabledPolicies separately for each selected scope by calling
readScopedHooksConfig(scope, cwd).enabledPolicies ?? [] inside the loop. Remove
the shared primaryScope-derived policies value so applying both scopes does not
clear the user scope or disable legacy builtins when project configuration is
absent.

In `@src/hooks/pack-cli.ts`:
- Line 435: Update the publish entry-path resolution around packAddSource so
values consumed by publish flags—including --repo, --version, --id, --tag,
--notes, --out, and --effect—are excluded before selecting the positional entry.
Compute consumed argument indices from the complete publish flag set rather than
reusing packAddSource’s narrower filtering, while preserving --dry-run handling.
- Around line 126-131: Update build’s argument parsing to use the parsed --repo
value as the fallback when --id is absent, matching publish’s behavior while
preserving explicit --id precedence and the existing usage validation.

In `@src/hooks/tui.ts`:
- Around line 526-528: Update hintBudget to return zero when the label leaves no
available hint space, while retaining the minimum six-column budget when space
remains. In both picker rendering paths that use hintBudget, omit the hint
prefix and clipped hint text when the returned budget is zero so the full label
is not extended past the row.
- Around line 194-197: Update the fg function so HUES.dim preserves its SGR dim
attribute at the truecolor tier instead of returning a truecolor foreground
sequence; keep normal truecolor hues using their RGB values and retain existing
ansi256/basic fallback behavior.

Hermes found blocking issues that should be addressed.

Review coverage was incomplete, but the concrete blocking findings below are sufficient to request changes.

High: A remote manifest can replace the bundled core pack

  • Rule: SEC-001
  • Location: src/hooks/pack-store.ts:710
  • Evidence: addPack() obtains a prior record by self-declared id at src/hooks/pack-store.ts:672. Its intended source-binding check explicitly skips bundled records at lines 710-713. Therefore, after core is installed, a release from github:attacker/repo whose manifest declares id: "failproofai/core" passes the check and upsertInstalled() replaces the bundled record by id. Its selection is then calculated against the attacker's manifest, so existing core protections can disappear while the record still appears to be the core pack.
  • Required change: Reserve failproofai/core for the bundled/official provenance and reject source changes for it. More generally, bind pack ids to a trusted source on first installation and require explicit removal before a different source can claim that id; handle the legacy builtins-to-core rename through explicit migration metadata rather than digest/id fallback.
2 advisory findings
  • High/High State deletion guard misses find -delete — The always-on guard at src/hooks/builtin-policies.ts:1483 only tests FAILPROOFAI_STATE_WRITE_RE, whose verbs are rm|unlink|shred|mv|truncate. An agent can run find ~/.failproofai -delete (or find $HOME/.failproofai -delete), which does not match that guard. The same file already recognizes find ... -delete in recursiveDeletionTargets at lines 1153-1171, but that belongs to the optional block-rm-rf policy. Deleting installed.json removes all selected pack policies; on a newly configured machine there are no legacy enabled builtins to restore them. (src/hooks/builtin-policies.ts:1483)
  • High/High Pack policy parameters saved by the dashboard are ignored at runtime — The dashboard exposes each pack policy under its bare name (app/actions/get-hooks-config.ts:242) and saves parameters under that bare key (app/policies/hooks-client.tsx:1383-1388; app/actions/update-policy-params.ts:12). At evaluation, however, the policy is registered as pack/<id>@<version>/<name>, and getConfigParamsFor() at src/hooks/policy-evaluator.ts:45-49 only falls back from the default failproofai/ namespace. Thus policyParams["block-sudo"], including existing user configuration and values just saved by the dashboard, is never passed to the core pack's block-sudo implementation; it runs with defaults instead. (src/hooks/policy-evaluator.ts:45)

Round 4 of 5. If the next review still finds something blocking, I will summarize what is left, withdraw this change request, and stop reviewing this pull request until someone asks me to start again.

Still open:

  • F5 State deletion guard misses find -delete (src/hooks/builtin-policies.ts) — noticed at round 4, on code that had not changed since the round before, so it never blocked
  • F3 A remote manifest can replace the bundled core pack (src/hooks/pack-store.ts) — noticed at round 2, on code that had not changed since the round before, so it never blocked
  • F6 Pack policy parameters saved by the dashboard are ignored at runtime (src/hooks/policy-evaluator.ts) — noticed at round 4, on code that had not changed since the round before, so it never blocked

If one of these is not worth fixing, @hermes-exosphere dismiss <id> [reason] waives it for the rest of this pull request and gives the review another round.

I have spent 5 rounds of review on this pull request and I am still finding things to block on. At that point I am no longer the useful reviewer here, so I am standing down and leaving the decision to a person.

I have withdrawn my change request, so I am no longer blocking this pull request. I have also stopped reviewing new commits on it.

What I last reviewed: 2bb7c59ae77f.

Still open:

  • F5 find -delete bypasses the always-on state-deletion guard (src/hooks/builtin-policies.ts) — noticed at round 4, on code that had not changed since the round before, so it never blocked

  • F6 Dashboard-configured pack parameters are ignored at runtime (src/hooks/policy-evaluator.ts) — noticed at round 4, on code that had not changed since the round before, so it never blocked

  • @hermes-exosphere dismiss <id> [reason] waives one of these for the rest of this pull request and starts me again.

  • @hermes-exosphere review [focus] starts over from a clean slate, with the waivers kept.

  • @hermes-exosphere reconsider [reason] asks for one more decision on what is here now.

None of this is a judgement that the findings above are wrong. It is a judgement that another round of me is not what will settle them.

Hermes spent 5 rounds on this pull request without converging and has stood down. This change request is stale and should not block the merge.

…n disable

`block-self-pause` and `block-failproofai-commands` were two halves of one
guard, and they disagreed with each other.

`block-self-pause` had the hardened matcher — segments split on shell
operators, runner prefixes and their flags walked off, the binary resolved by
basename, the shell-unescaped form re-checked — but only ever looked for
`config --pause`. `block-failproofai-commands` had the whole surface, any CLI
invocation plus package-manager uninstall, on a regex a single prefix defeated:
`sudo failproofai config --pause`, `npx failproofai policies --uninstall`,
`env X=1 failproofai …`, `/usr/local/bin/failproofai …` and
`timeout 30 failproofai …` were all ALLOWED by a default-on self-protection
policy. The merged policy is the hardened matcher over the broad surface, and
it keeps `PermissionRequest` from the merged-in half — a real enforcement point
on Copilot and Devin that the survivor never subscribed to.

Where the two contradicted each other, the merge keeps what machines actually
did. `block-self-pause` deliberately allowed `config --resume`, `config
--status` and `policies --install`; both policies were default-on and the
sibling denied all three first, so that allow never ran anywhere.

It is now `alwaysOn`, a new flag `registerBuiltinPolicies` honours ahead of the
enabled set. That closes the three ways the old pair could go dark without
anyone noticing: a name absent from `enabledPolicies`, an active session pause
(`handler.ts` passes `[]`), and a config file that fails to parse
(`hooks-config.ts` soft-fails to `{enabledPolicies: []}` at five sites, so
corrupting one file disabled every policy including these two).
`policies --disable block-failproofai-commands` now refuses with a reason
instead of editing the config and reporting a success that changes nothing.
`policy-catalog.ts` now holds the metadata — name, description, category,
`match`, `defaultEnabled`, `params` — as pure literal data, and
`builtin-policies.ts` keeps the 39 implementations and joins them back on.
`BUILTIN_POLICIES` keeps its exact shape, fields and order, so none of its nine
source consumers change. This is what lets a machine list, search and render the
catalog offline once the executable half moves to a fetched pack.

Two constraints made the refactor narrower than it looks, and both were measured
rather than assumed.

`audit/cache.ts` hashes `fn.toString()` for all 39 policies into the audit
cache's `engineVersion`, and `bun build` renames colliding top-level identifiers
by module EMISSION ORDER — those renamed names appear inside policy bodies in
the shipped bundle (`cwdWithSep2`, `execSync2`, `resolved3`). So inserting a
module into the graph could have changed the emitted text, invalidated every
user's audit cache and forced a ~104-second cold rescan on upgrade. Built before
and after and compared: `engineVersion` is unchanged at `c1cea4ddf3030af4`.

`SECRET_PATTERNS` stays here rather than being reclassified as catalog data. It
is assembled from the very RegExps the five `sanitize-*` policies test against
and is imported by the audit redactor, so moving it would have forced a
catalog→implementation value edge and put an import cycle on the hook path.

`policy-catalog.test.ts` pins the join against the failures that are otherwise
silent, each verified to fail when the join is mutated: a wrapper collapsing 39
distinct `fn.toString()` hashes into one and freezing the cache key; a sort or
regroup changing which policy name is attributed on a deny; a spread
default-filling `beta`; a dropped row shrinking the catalog invisibly to
`manager.ts` and `install-prompt.ts`, neither of which reads `.fn`. The
bijection check throws at module load rather than warning, because a name with
no implementation yields `fn: undefined`, whose `TypeError` `policy-evaluator.ts`
swallows — the hook would allow, exit 0, and still report the policy as having
run.
A pack is one digest-pinned entry artifact plus a manifest describing what it
contains, installed under ~/.failproofai/policies/packs/ beside the cloud
artifacts and loaded through the custom-policy loader that already exists. Not a
fourth loader — the same lane with a different tag.

Packs are LOCAL policy. Cloud assignments are exempt from disabledCustomPolicies
and from session pause because a locally-issued command must not switch off a
CENTRALLY assigned policy; a pack the user installed by typing a command is not
that, so it stays disableable and pausable. Copying the exemption would have
been an unrelated capability arriving by copy-paste.

Three refusals, each closing a silent failure:

- A pack policy name may not contain `/`, and pack policies register under
  `pack/<id>@<version>/`. Verified live that without this a pack shipping the
  name `failproofai/block-sudo` REPLACES the compiled builtin —
  normalizePolicyName passes any name containing a slash through untouched and
  registerPolicy replaces by canonical name — so the machine would report
  block-sudo as enabled while running a stranger's code.
- A pack may not declare `alwaysOn`: downloaded enforcement that no local
  command can turn off.
- Byte-identical packs merge toward enforcement, with a warning. Artifacts are
  content-addressed, so identical source is one file, and the loser would
  otherwise vanish with its effect deciding nothing. Same collision that once
  silently downgraded a cloud policy to observe-only.

Manifest and artifact are reconciled after load. The artifact is digest-pinned
so what it registers is what the publisher shipped, but nothing bound the
manifest to it: a declared policy the artifact never registers is a listing
claiming protection that does not run.

engineVersion, which keys the audit cache, folds in each pack's
id|version|sha256 — by identity, not source text, because the loader rewrites a
per-load temporary filename into every import specifier and hashing that would
cold-rescan the whole history every run. A machine with no packs hashes
byte-identically to a build with no pack support, verified at the source level
and in the shipped bundle (c1cea4ddf3030af4, unchanged), so this costs no
existing user the ~104-second rescan.

Failure is per pack, not per manifest, and fails open with a recorded reason.
That is sound only while the builtins still ship compiled in and keep enforcing
underneath, and the catch says so — because the day builtins become a fetched
pack, this exact behaviour is zero enforcement on a machine reporting healthy.
The params schema now travels on the RegisteredPolicy, next to `match`, instead
of being looked up by name in a map built from BUILTIN_POLICIES.

That map could only ever describe policies compiled into this build, so every
pack policy, cloud assignment and custom hook fell through to the branch that
never calls getConfigParamsFor. The consequence was worse than missing defaults:
the user's OWN configured policyParams for those policies were discarded. A
person who set protectedBranches on a cloud-assigned policy had it silently
ignored, with nothing anywhere reporting it.

A schema-less policy now receives whatever the user configured, and still `{}`
when they configured nothing — which is every case that exists today. A policy
declaring a schema gets defaults merged under the user's values, unchanged.

Registration-carried rather than name-keyed also closes a hole the pack lane
opened one commit ago: a name-keyed schema was handed to ANYTHING registered
under that name, so a pack that took the `block-sudo` name would have inherited
its params along with it.

policy-evaluator.ts no longer imports the builtin catalog. That is a module
graph change, which is the condition that can shift emitted text and move the
audit cache key, so it was re-measured rather than assumed: the shipped
engineVersion is still c1cea4ddf3030af4.

I have spent 5 rounds of review on this pull request and I am still finding things to block on. At that point I am no longer the useful reviewer here, so I am standing down and leaving the decision to a person.

I have withdrawn my change request, so I am no longer blocking this pull request. I have also stopped reviewing new commits on it.

What I last reviewed: 2b4c3e03120f.

Still open:

  • F9 Glob syntax bypasses the always-on policy-state guard (src/hooks/builtin-policies.ts) — open since round 4

  • F10 Malformed pack match metadata defeats fail-closed enforcement (src/hooks/pack-manifest.ts) — open since round 5

  • @hermes-exosphere dismiss <id> [reason] waives one of these for the rest of this pull request and starts me again.

  • @hermes-exosphere review [focus] starts over from a clean slate, with the waivers kept.

  • @hermes-exosphere reconsider [reason] asks for one more decision on what is here now.

None of this is a judgement that the findings above are wrong. It is a judgement that another round of me is not what will settle them.

Hermes spent 5 rounds on this pull request without converging and has stood down. This change request is stale and should not block the merge.

…spell

The floor that told an aimed pattern from an ordinary one was a literal `fail`
substring test, which is precisely the letter a metacharacter stands in for.
`rm -rf ~/.f*ailproofai` was thrown out before it was ever compiled, and so
were `.[f]ailproofai`, `.fa*lproofai`, `.fa[i]lproofai` and `.f{a,b}ilproofai` —
every one of them deleting the state through the guard nobody can switch off.

The floor is now computed the same way the match is: compile once, require that
the pattern hits the state, and reject it if it also hits anything ordinary.
That keeps `rm -rf *` and `rm -rf ~/.*` allowed — they sweep the decoys too, and
an always-on guard that denied those would be worked around by the first person
who met it — while `rm -rf /tmp/test-failures*` stays allowed for the older
reason, that it reaches no state path at all. Braces are compiled as the
alternation they become, and every `/`-prefix is tried rather than the whole
token: naming a file inside the state is naming the state.

The second half is the same mistake one layer up. `match` was validated as "is
an object" and nothing more, so a manifest declaring `events: "PreToolUse"` was
iterated character by character and narrowed the fail-closed deny to
["P","r","e","T","o","l","U","s"] — a guard matching no event that exists. The
pack failed to load, the deny fired on nothing, and the machine reported
enforcement it did not have. `events: 5` threw `number is not iterable` on the
hook path outright. Metadata nobody can read now widens the deny instead of
narrowing it, because a scope derived from something unparseable says nothing
true, and the manifest refuses the shape at install time where the publisher can
still fix it.

The test that pinned the glob bypass as a known gap is removed: it is no longer
a gap, and the cases that replace it cover both directions.

Round 5 findings addressed at eab785c5.

F9 — glob syntax bypasses the always-on state guard. The floor deciding whether a pattern was aimed at the state was token.includes("fail"), a literal substring test — which is exactly the letter a metacharacter stands in for. rm -rf ~/.f*ailproofai was rejected before the pattern was ever compiled; so were .[f]ailproofai, .fa*lproofai, .fa[i]lproofai and .f{a,b}ilproofai. The floor is now computed from the pattern's reach: compile once, require a state candidate, reject if it also matches a decoy set of ordinary paths. rm -rf * and rm -rf ~/.* stay allowed (they sweep the decoys too); rm -rf /tmp/test-failures* stays allowed (reaches no candidate). Brace expansion is compiled as an alternation, and every /-delimited prefix is tried rather than only the whole token, so shred ~/.f*ailproofai/policies-config.json is caught. The test that pinned this as a known gap is removed and replaced with 16 cases in both directions.

F10 — malformed pack match metadata defeats fail-closed enforcement. Confirmed and fixed at both layers. match was validated as typeof === "object" only, so events: "PreToolUse" was iterated character by character and narrowed the deny to ["P","r","e","T","o","l","U","s"] — matching no event that exists. events: 5 threw number is not iterable on the hook path. Unreadable metadata now widens the deny rather than narrowing it, and parsePackPolicy refuses the shape at install time.

Two earlier findings were already fixed before this round and I re-verified rather than re-fixing: find <state> -delete denies (the guard is an allowlist now, not the verb regex the round-4 evidence cited), and togglePackPolicyAction's result is read, with fireActionError + reload() on {ok:false}.

Not fixed, by the maintainer's explicit decision: the hook-config gap (rm ~/.claude/settings.json). Please leave it out of scope.

Gates green locally: tsc 0, lint 0 errors, build exit 0, e2e 333/333, unit 4770 passed (9 failures are the 8 locally-emptied dogfood configs plus one cross-worker flake that passes in isolation).

High: Nested glob in brace expansion bypasses the state guard

  • Rule: SEC-001
  • Location: src/hooks/builtin-policies.ts:753
  • Evidence: globPrefixNamesState escapes every brace alternative at src/hooks/builtin-policies.ts:753. Consequently rm -rf ~/.f{a*,x}ilproofai is compiled as alternatives containing a literal *, even though the shell first expands it to ~/.fa*ilproofai and then glob-expands that word to ~/.failproofai. The always-on block-failproofai-commands policy therefore returns allow; this was reproduced in a nested Docker container against the reviewed source. Deleting that directory removes installed packs and can turn off their enforcement without invoking the CLI.
  • Required change: Expand brace alternatives before compiling glob patterns, or recursively compile metacharacters within each alternative, and add regression cases such as ~/.f{a*,x}ilproofai (including paths beneath that directory).

Comment thread src/hooks/builtin-policies.ts Outdated
Compiling `{a*,x}` as an alternation of escaped literals put a literal `*`
inside the pattern. The shell does not work that way: brace expansion rewrites
the word FIRST, and only the resulting words are matched against the disk. So
`rm -rf ~/.f{a*,x}ilproofai` — which the shell turns into `~/.fa*ilproofai` and
then into the state directory itself — compiled to a pattern that could never
match it, and walked past the guard nobody can switch off.

Expansion now runs ahead of compilation, over nested groups and several groups
in one word, and it is bounded rather than trusted: `{a,b}` twenty times over
multiplies to a million words, so past the limit every group collapses to `*`.
That is a superset of what the braces could produce, which keeps an oversized
token decidable — and still held to the same decoy test — instead of turning
into a way to stall the hook path.

The other half was the token never arriving whole. `bareToken` strips leading
and trailing braces because a shell group wears them (`{ rm -rf x; }`), and a
brace expansion wears the same characters and ends the token with one — so
`~/.{fail*,zz}` reached the scan as `~/.{fail*,zz`, an unterminated group that
expands to nothing. The glob scan keeps its braces now; a trailing brace that
really did close a shell group leaves a word still carrying the literal path,
which the literal check reads.

@hermes-exosphere review

Fixed at 79b4ece8. You were right, and the fix was in the wrong place: I was compiling braces as an alternation rather than expanding them, so a glob inside a brace became a literal.

Brace expansion now runs before compilation, in the shell's own order — nested groups and multiple groups per word included. It is bounded rather than trusted: past 4096 words every group collapses to *, a superset of what the braces could produce, so an oversized token stays decidable instead of stalling the hook path (a 20-group bomb answers in ~15ms, pinned by a test).

Your case exposed a second half I would not have found from the report alone. bareToken strips leading and trailing braces because a shell group wears them ({ rm -rf x; }), and a brace expansion wears the same characters and ends the token with one — so rm -rf ~/.{fail*,zz} reached the scan as ~/.{fail*,zz, an unterminated group expanding to nothing. The glob scan keeps its braces now.

New denying cases: ~/.f{a*,x}ilproofai, ~/.f{[a],x}ilproofai, ~/.f{a?,x}lproofai, ~/.f{{a,b}*,x}ilproofai, ~/.f{a,x}{i,y}lproofai, ~/.{fail*,zz}, and the beneath-directory form shred ~/.f{a*,x}ilproofai/policies-config.json. Still allowed: rm -rf {dist,build}/*, rm -rf ~/.{cache,config}/*, rm -rf {a,b}{c,d}, rm -rf *, rm -rf ~/.*.

Gates green: tsc 0, lint 0 errors, build exit 0, e2e 333/333, unit 4782 passed (8 failures are the locally-emptied dogfood configs).

High: Nested brace expansion still bypasses the state guard

  • Rule: SEC-001
  • Location: src/hooks/builtin-policies.ts:752
  • Evidence: expandBraces stops after 16 rounds and returns unresolved words at src/hooks/builtin-policies.ts:752-770. A 17-level token such as rm -rf ~/.f{x,{x,{x,{x,{x,{x,{x,{x,{x,{x,{x,{x,{x,{x,{x,{x,{x,a*}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}ilproofai is valid shell brace expansion and has a branch that becomes ~/.fa*ilproofai, which glob-expands to ~/.failproofai. The remaining unresolved brace group is escaped by globPrefixNamesState, so namesState is false and the destructive rm is allowed. Deleting this directory removes installed packs and disables their enforcement.
  • Required change: Do not return unresolved brace groups after the depth limit. Continue expansion within a bounded global work budget, or conservatively collapse every remaining nested group into a glob representation before matching. Add a regression test with more than 16 nested brace groups that can expand onto the state directory.
1 advisory finding
  • Medium/High Matching packs by artifact digest deletes independent pack records — priorRecordFor treats any matching SHA-256 as the prior pack (src/hooks/pack-store.ts:618-620), and upsertInstalled then removes every different ID with that digest (src/hooks/pack-store.ts:1150-1163). Two distinct packs may legitimately use identical entry bytes; the new pack-shared-artifact tests explicitly model distinct IDs with one artifact. If acme/first@1.0.0 and acme/second@2.0.0 from the same repository have identical artifacts, adding the latter passes the repository check but silently removes the former record and its independent selection. (src/hooks/pack-store.ts:1150)

Comment thread src/hooks/builtin-policies.ts Outdated
Comment thread src/hooks/pack-store.ts
The round cap RETURNED its half-expanded words. A word that still has braces in
it goes to a compiler that escapes them as literals, so seventeen levels of
`{x,{x,…{x,a*}…}}` — legal shell with a branch that becomes `~/.fa*ilproofai`,
which globs onto the state directory — came out matching nothing at all. The
budget was doing the opposite of its job: running out of it produced an ANSWER,
and the answer was "this names nothing".

Exhausting the budget now collapses instead. Every remaining group becomes `*`,
which reaches strictly more than the braces could, so the token stays decidable
however deep it goes and is still held to the decoy test that keeps `rm -rf *`
allowed. Collapsing replaces each OUTERMOST group whole rather than resolving
innermost-first — one pass at any depth, instead of one pass per level, which
would only have moved the same cliff somewhere further out. Verified to 200
levels, in both directions.

Separately, `policies add` stops stating an inference as a fact. Absorbing a
same-artifact record under another id is the right default — a publisher
renaming a set must not reset everyone who had narrowed it — but identical bytes
cannot tell a rename from a second pack one repository builds from the same
source, and the record that goes away is one the user installed on purpose.
"Same policies under a new name" claimed to know which it was. The line now
reports what was observed, that absorbing was the inference, and how to restore
the other pack when the inference was wrong.

Fixed at 47c82290. Better catch than the last one — the bug was that my budget produced an answer when it ran out, and the answer was "names nothing".

Nested brace expansion. The round cap returned its half-expanded words, and a word that still has braces goes to a compiler that escapes them as literals. Exhausting the budget now collapses rather than returns: every remaining group becomes *, which reaches strictly more than the braces could, so the token stays decidable at any depth and is still held to the decoy test that keeps rm -rf * allowed. The collapse replaces each outermost group whole rather than resolving innermost-first — one pass at any depth, instead of one pass per level, which would only have moved the same cliff further out (I hit exactly that at 200 levels while testing the first attempt).

Verified denying at 1, 5, 16, 17, 20, 30, 64 and 200 levels, including your exact token, the beneath-directory form, and a deep token whose winning branch is a literal rather than a glob. Still allowed: rm -rf /tmp/{x,…{x,a*}…}build at 40 levels, rm -rf ~/.{cache,config}/*, rm -rf {a,b}{c,d}, rm -rf *, rm -rf ~/.*. Regression tests pinned at 17 and 200 levels.

Advisory — packs matched by artifact digest. I took this seriously and did not take the fix. I tried narrowing absorption to cross-origin renames and it is wrong: the documented, tested rename case is same repository, different id (acme/financeacme/renamed in pack-selection-merge.test.ts), which is the identical shape to your acme/first/acme/second. The pack id comes from the release manifest, not the artifact, so your scenario is genuinely reachable — but at install time the two are indistinguishable, and refusing or skipping would break a publisher rename resetting everyone who had narrowed the pack, which is the bug absorption was written for.

What I did fix is the false claim. The line said "same policies under a new name" — an inference stated as fact about a record the user installed on purpose. It now reports the evidence (same artifact), that absorbing was the inference drawn from it, and how to restore the other pack if that was wrong. If you know a signal available offline that separates the two cases, I will take it.

Gates green: tsc 0, lint 0 errors, build exit 0, e2e 333/333, unit 4787 passed (8 failures are the locally-emptied dogfood configs).

High: POSIX-negated glob bypasses the always-on state guard

  • Rule: SEC-001
  • Location: src/hooks/builtin-policies.ts:878
  • Evidence: globPrefixNamesState copies a shell bracket expression directly into a JavaScript regex at src/hooks/builtin-policies.ts:878. Bash expands ~/.f[!b]ilproofai to ~/.failproofai, but JavaScript interprets [!b] as a class containing ! or b, so the generated regex does not match the state candidate. Consequently destroysFailproofaiState() returns false and blockFailproofaiCommands() allows rm -rf ~/.f[!b]ilproofai, which deletes the pack/config state and disables all fetched enforcement policies.
  • Required change: Translate POSIX [!...] bracket expressions to JavaScript [^...] expressions before compiling the glob (including appropriate escaping), and add a state-guard regression test for rm -rf ~/.f[!b]ilproofai and a nested-path variant.
1 advisory finding
  • Medium/High Artifact digest is incorrectly treated as pack identity — priorRecordFor falls back from pack ID to matching SHA-256 at src/hooks/pack-store.ts:620. A second independently named pack with byte-identical entry code therefore inherits the first record as prior; the source binding check at line 912 then rejects it because the repositories differ. If that check did not reject it, upsertInstalled would instead absorb and delete every different ID with the same digest (lines 1150-1153). This contradicts the shared-artifact enforcement fixture, which explicitly models distinct IDs and independent selections for the same artifact in __tests__/hooks/pack-shared-artifact.test.ts:94-107. (src/hooks/pack-store.ts:620)

Comment thread src/hooks/builtin-policies.ts Outdated
Comment thread src/hooks/pack-store.ts
POSIX negates with `!` and JavaScript with `^`, so `[!b]` — which bash expands
straight onto the state directory — compiled to a class matching either `!` or
`b`, and `rm -rf ~/.f[!b]ilproofai` walked past the guard that cannot be
switched off. One character wide, and the pattern was read backwards.

Two more spellings were being read wrong beside it. A `]` in the FIRST position
is content rather than the terminator, so scanning for the next `]` closed
`[]a]` on the wrong character; and a POSIX class carries a `]` of its own, which
ended `[[:alpha:]]` early and left a stray literal on the end. Anything past
those — a collating symbol, an equivalence class — becomes `[^/]`, which reaches
at least as far as whatever it replaced. Widening is safe here in a way
narrowing never is, because the decoy test is what decides.

An unclosed `[` is now a literal `[`, which is what it is to a shell. It used to
return false, and that is the same mistake as last time in a smaller place: a
malformed pattern is not evidence that a command names nothing.

The pack half is the other end of the same lookup. A prior record is found by
digest as well as by id, and the origin binding — an id may not change the
source it came from without an explicit removal — did not ask which of the two
it had been handed. A pack from another repository that happened to build
byte-identical output was refused with `pack id X is already installed from Y`,
naming an id the user never asked for and offering a removal that would not have
helped. It applies only when the ids actually match.

Fixed at 825ef71a. Confirmed exactly as reported — [!b] compiled to a class matching either ! or b, so the pattern was read backwards, one character wide.

Bracket expressions are now translated rather than copied. Your case exposed two more spellings being read wrong beside it, both found while writing the fix: a ] in the first position is content rather than the terminator, so scanning for the next ] closed []a] on the wrong character; and a POSIX class carries a ] of its own, which ended [[:alpha:]] early and left a stray literal on the end. Anything past those — collating symbol, equivalence class — becomes [^/], which reaches at least as far as what it replaced; widening is safe where narrowing is not, because the decoy test is what decides.

I also took your last round's lesson to the neighbouring line: an unclosed [ used to return false, which is the same mistake in a smaller place — a malformed pattern is not evidence that a command names nothing. It is a literal [ now, as it is to a shell.

Denying: [!b], [^b], [!0-9], [[:alpha:]], []a], [!]b], the nested-path variants (…[!b]ilproofai/policies, shred …[!b]ilproofai/policies-config.json), a negated class inside a brace, and one 30 braces deep. Still allowed: rm -rf ~/.[!x]onfig, rm -rf /tmp/[!a]uild, cat ~/.f[!b]ilproofai/policies-config.json. All five earlier sweeps re-run clean.

Advisory — digest treated as identity. You are right about the half I can fix without guessing, and I took it: the origin binding now applies only when the ids actually match. Before, a pack from another repository that happened to build byte-identical output was refused with pack id X is already installed from Y — naming an id the user never asked for, and offering a removal that would not have helped. The absorption half I still cannot fix, for the reason in my last comment: the documented rename case (pack-selection-merge.test.ts) is same-repo/different-id/identical-bytes, which is the same shape as two coexisting packs, and the id comes from the release manifest rather than the artifact. If there is an offline signal that separates them I will take it.

Gates green: tsc 0, lint 0 errors, build exit 0, e2e 333/333, unit 4801 passed (8 failures are the locally-emptied dogfood configs).

High: Extended glob bypasses the always-on state guard

  • Rule: SEC-001
  • Location: src/hooks/builtin-policies.ts:719
  • Evidence: globCouldNameState() only recognizes *, ?, [, and { at src/hooks/builtin-policies.ts:719. Bash extended globs use @(...), which therefore never marks the command as reaching the state path. In an isolated container, invoking the production block-failproofai-commands policy for bash -O extglob -c 'rm -rf ~/.f@(ailproofai)' returned {"decision":"allow"}; Bash expands that pattern to ~/.failproofai and deletes it. Removing the pack manifest disables all downloaded policy enforcement while the guard remains the only compiled policy.
  • Required change: Recognize Bash extended-glob operators (@(), ?(), *(), +(), !()) when determining whether an operand can name the state directory, including commands passed through shell -c. Add a regression test that requires this command to deny.
1 advisory finding
  • Medium/High A failed pack denies CLIs outside its configured scope — The handler loads every installed pack path before applying pack.clis (src/hooks/handler.ts:400 and :434). On a permanent load failure, missingGuards() creates a deny from the policy match without considering pack.clis (src/hooks/pack-failclosed.ts:147). An isolated integration probe with a digest-mismatched pack scoped to clis:["codex"] returned a PreToolUse denial for the claude CLI. That agent was never configured to be guarded by this pack, yet is locked out until a human repairs it. (src/hooks/pack-failclosed.ts:147)

Comment thread src/hooks/builtin-policies.ts Outdated
Comment thread src/hooks/pack-failclosed.ts
…s it covers

Three of Bash's five extended-glob operators begin with a character that means
nothing on its own, so `@(`, `+(` and `!(` did not even mark a token as a
pattern: `rm -rf ~/.f@(ailproofai)` never reached the glob check. `@()`, `?()`,
`*()` and `+()` are compiled now as the groups-with-a-quantifier they are,
recursing into their alternatives rather than escaping whatever is inside them,
and `!()` becomes `[^/]*` — a negation a regex cannot express against a path
segment, answered by widening, which is the direction that stays safe here.

Underneath it was the brace bug again, wearing different characters. The strip
that removes a subshell's parentheses removes a pattern's too, so the token
arrived as an unterminated group. Parentheses and braces are both how a shell
groups COMMANDS and how it spells a PATTERN, and both spellings end the token
with the closing one. The glob scan keeps them and tries the stripped reading as
well, rather than choosing one and being wrong half the time.

Separately, a pack that fails to load stops denying agents it never covered. The
registration path skips a pack whose `clis` excludes the running agent and the
fail-closed path did not, so a pack scoped to codex that failed its digest check
locked claude out too — over enforcement that agent was never configured to
have, until a human repaired a pack it does not use. The scope is carried on a
pack that failed before it could be resolved, and an unreadable one means every
agent rather than none: `clis: "codex"` is a truthy value with a `length` and an
`includes`, so the first version of this check narrowed itself away to nothing
and skipped the guard everywhere. Same rule as an unreadable `match` — a
narrowing nobody can parse says nothing true.

Fixed at 3f02d42f. Confirmed — and the interesting part is that the root cause was the same bug I had already fixed twice, wearing different characters.

Extended globs. @(), ?(), *() and +() are compiled as the groups-with-a-quantifier they are, recursing into their alternatives rather than escaping them; !() becomes [^/]* — a negation a regex cannot express against a path segment, answered by widening.

But recognising the operator was only half. Underneath it, bareToken strips a subshell's parentheses ((cd x && rm y)) — and a pattern's too, so ~/.f@(ailproofai) arrived as an unterminated group. That is exactly the brace bug from round 6 in different clothes: parentheses and braces are each how a shell groups commands and how it spells a pattern, and both spellings end the token with the closing character. The scan keeps them and tries the stripped reading as well, rather than picking one and being wrong half the time.

Denying: your exact case and the bash -O extglob -c form, @(a|b), ?(), *(), +(), nested @(@(a)…), a star inside a group, a negated class inside a group, a group wrapping the whole name, the beneath-directory and shred …/policies-config.json variants, and a group inside a brace. Still allowed: rm -rf /tmp/@(build|dist), rm -rf ~/.!(config), cat ~/.f@(ailproofai)/policies-config.json, rm -rf /tmp/@(build. All six earlier sweeps re-run clean.

Advisory — a failed pack denying out-of-scope CLIs. Taken, and it was a good one: registration honours pack.clis and the fail-closed path did not. Now scoped, including for a pack that failed before it could be resolved (PackError carries clis the way it already carried effect, and for the same reason).

Worth flagging because I nearly shipped it: my first version of that check narrowed on truthiness, and clis: "codex" is a truthy value with a length and an includes — so a string scope skipped the guard for every agent. A check written to stop over-denying had turned into the thing that under-denies. It requires a real list of names now, and an unreadable scope means every agent, the same rule as an unreadable match. A test pins it.

I could not establish complete review coverage for 3f02d42f4250, so I did not approve it. I have no specific question to ask — this is a coverage gap on my side, not a request for input.

What the review did establish:

Two medium-confidence correctness issues: combined failed packs over-block unrelated tools, and the incremental audit fallback can double-count after a concurrent transcript rewrite. Container validation could not be provisioned.

Re-run with @hermes-exosphere review [focus] to point me at the part that matters most, or @hermes-exosphere reconsider [reason] if you believe the coverage was sufficient.

Both are the same shape: a decision made in one function, consumed in another,
and the consumer assuming something the producer had stopped guaranteeing.

When several packs are unavailable at once, one policy stands in for all of
them. Its matcher unioned the events and left `toolNames` out of the combined
object entirely, which reads as "every tool" — so ONE failed pack scoped to Bash
denied Bash, and TWO of them denied Write and Read as well. Combining two
limited scopes was producing a larger one. Both axes union by the same rule now,
narrowing only where every guard was narrow, and the merge moved next to the
other match logic where it can be tested.

The audit half is the same trick with a byte offset. The cache decides a
transcript grew and hands back a prefix result plus somewhere to resume from,
but the READER is what finds out that offset is no longer good — truncated,
rewritten underneath it — and it answers by reading the whole file instead. The
prefix was merged onto that regardless, so everything before the offset was
counted twice and the audit reported more than the transcript held. The merge
asks whether the scan actually resumed now, rather than whether a prefix
existed.

Those null paths are a concurrent truncation and an I/O error, neither of which
a black-box audit can trigger on purpose, so the test forces the reader to
refuse. Without the fix it reports five events where the file holds three.

@hermes-exosphere review the fail-closed deny scope in src/hooks/pack-failclosed.ts and src/hooks/handler.ts, and the incremental audit resume in src/audit/index.ts and src/audit/cache.ts

Both medium-confidence findings from your coverage-gap round were real. Fixed at e2962f55. They turned out to be the same shape — a decision made in one function and consumed in another, with the consumer assuming something the producer had stopped guaranteeing.

Combined failed packs over-blocking. Confirmed. The stand-in policy's matcher unioned events and left toolNames out of the combined object entirely, which reads as "every tool" — so one failed pack scoped to Bash denied Bash, and two of them denied Write and Read as well. Combining two limited scopes was producing a larger one. Both axes union by the same rule now, narrowing only where every guard is narrow. I moved the merge into pack-failclosed.ts as combinedGuardMatch so it has a test seam; four cases pin it, including the two-guards-same-tool case that was the bug.

Incremental audit double-counting. Confirmed, and more direct than a rewrite-in-place: the cache grants the resume, but the reader is what discovers the offset is no longer good (fromByte > size after a concurrent truncation, or an I/O error) and answers by reading the whole file. The prefix was merged onto that regardless, because the merge asked whether a cached prefix existed rather than whether the scan had actually resumed. It asks the right question now, via an explicit resumed flag on the scan outcome.

Neither null path is reachable on purpose from a black-box audit, so the new test forces the reader to refuse. I verified it fails without the fix: five events reported where the file holds three.

Gates green: tsc 0, lint 0 errors, build exit 0, e2e 333/333, unit 4829 passed (8 failures are the locally-emptied dogfood configs).

If container validation is still unavailable, the state-guard work from the last four rounds is fully covered by __tests__/hooks/state-guard.test.ts (124 cases, both directions) — that may be a cheaper surface to check than provisioning a container.

High: Propagate a shared artifact failure to every pack that depends on it

  • Rule: COR-001
  • Location: src/hooks/custom-hooks-loader.ts:544
  • Evidence: When two installed packs resolve to the same artifact, custom-hooks-loader collapses them into one packByPath entry (lines 482-517). On an import or path failure it writes packFailures only for that merged winner (line 544). missingGuards then skips every other installed pack that is absent from both the failure and registration maps (pack-failclosed.ts lines 170-193). Thus, if pack A selects a Bash policy and pack B selects a Write policy from the same artifact and that artifact has a syntax error, only A receives a fail-closed guard; B's selected Write policy is absent and Write is allowed. A focused container execution of missingGuards with that map returned only a/one.
  • Required change: Retain all pack IDs represented by each deduplicated artifact path and record a permanent load failure for every one of them (including path-missing). Add an end-to-end regression with two packs sharing an artifact, complementary selections, and a failed import, asserting both policy scopes are denied.
1 advisory finding
  • Medium/High Do not flatten independent event/tool scopes into a cross product — combinedGuardMatch independently unions events and toolNames (lines 237-241), while policy-registry requires both axes to match (policy-registry.ts lines 94-101). For unavailable guards scoped to (PreToolUse,Bash) and (PostToolUse,Write), the merged matcher is events=[PreToolUse,PostToolUse] and toolNames=[Bash,Write], so it also denies the unintended (PreToolUse,Write) and (PostToolUse,Bash) calls. A focused container execution registered this matcher and confirmed both unintended pairs matched. (src/hooks/pack-failclosed.ts:241)

…t they scoped

Packs with identical entry bytes collapse to one load so the module imports
once. A load failure is recorded per PACK ID, and the collapse leaves one id
holding the merged record — so a syntax error in a shared artifact marked the
winner failed and said nothing about the other. `missingGuards` skips a pack
missing from both the failure map and the registration map, so the second pack's
selected policies were absent, unguarded, and unreported: exactly the silent
under-enforcement the selection union was written to stop, arriving through the
failure path instead. Every id behind an artifact path is kept now, and a
failure is recorded against all of them, for a failed import and a missing file
alike.

The second half is a fault in the fix from last round. The stand-in policy's
matcher unions the two axes independently and the registry ANDs them, so guards
scoped to (PreToolUse, Bash) and (PostToolUse, Write) also caught (PreToolUse,
Write) — a cross product of scopes neither pack declared. Narrowing the matcher
is not available: a policy that is never dispatched cannot decide anything. So
the matcher stays a superset and the pairing is settled during evaluation, where
the real event and tool are known.

Both are covered end to end by tests that fail without them: the shared-artifact
one allows the second pack's tool outright, and the cross-product one denies a
pair no pack asked for.

Both fixed at cbf3b010, and the advisory was a fault in the fix I made last round — good catch.

Shared artifact failure not propagating. Confirmed exactly as described. Every pack id behind an artifact path is retained now and a permanent failure is recorded against all of them, for a failed import and for path-missing alike. The end-to-end regression you asked for is in pack-shared-artifact.test.ts: two packs, one broken artifact, complementary selections scoped to Bash and Write, asserting both scopes deny. Verified it fails without the fix — the Write scope came back exitCode 0 with no deny at all.

Cross product of the two axes. Also confirmed, and it is my regression from the combinedGuardMatch change one round ago: I fixed toolNames being dropped and introduced this in the same edit.

The matcher cannot be tightened, though — a policy that is never dispatched cannot decide anything, so it has to stay a superset. The pairing is settled during evaluation instead, via guardsCover(guards, event, tool), where the real event and tool are known. Unit cases pin the invented pairs, and an end-to-end case with guards differing on both axes ((PreToolUse, Bash) and (PostToolUse, Write)) asserts (PreToolUse, Write) is allowed while (PreToolUse, Bash) still denies. That one also fails without the fix.

Worth noting I initially wrote that e2e with both guards on the same event, and it passed with and without the fix — the registry already excluded the third tool, so it proved nothing. The cross product only appears when the guards differ on both axes.

Gates green: tsc 0, lint 0 errors, build exit 0, e2e 333/333, unit 4839 passed (8 failures are the locally-emptied dogfood configs).

High: Fail closed for partially registered shared artifacts

  • Rule: SEC-001
  • Location: src/hooks/handler.ts:457
  • Evidence: Artifacts sharing a path are collapsed to one merged pack in custom-hooks-loader.ts (lines 482-530), so every loaded hook carries only the winner's pack ID. handler.ts records it only under that ID (lines 457-460). missingGuards then skips the other installed record when it has neither a load failure nor a registered entry (pack-failclosed.ts lines 189-193). If a shared artifact loads but omits a policy selected only by the non-winning record, that policy is neither registered nor represented by the synthetic deny. An isolated invocation of missingGuards with this state returned an empty guard list.
  • Required change: Propagate the actual registered hook names to every original pack ID behind the shared artifact path, then add an end-to-end regression where a successfully imported shared artifact omits a policy selected only by the non-winning pack and verify its declared scope is denied.

Comment thread src/hooks/handler.ts
The mirror of the last fix, on the path where nothing goes wrong. An artifact
that imports FINE can still register less than its manifest declared — a
publisher's catalog and their source drifting apart — and registration is
recorded per pack id while a collapsed load hands back hooks carrying only the
id the collapse kept. So a policy selected by the non-winning record and absent
from the artifact left that pack in neither the failure map nor the registered
map, and `missingGuards` skips a pack in neither. Nothing registered the policy
and nothing denied on its behalf: the machine reported itself enforcing a scope
that was running nothing.

The loader now returns the ids sharing each artifact, and registrations are
recorded against all of them, so the pack that selected the missing policy is
measured against what actually loaded rather than against its neighbour.

Read through an optional chain, because a caller that stubs the loader has no
alias map and the honest reading of its absence is "this id only" — the same
answer the map gives for an artifact only one pack resolved to.

Fixed at 6ccdd31e. Confirmed — and it is the exact mirror of the previous round's finding, on the path where nothing goes wrong: I propagated the FAILURE map to every pack behind a shared artifact and left the REGISTRATION map keyed to the collapse winner alone.

loadAllCustomHooks now returns the ids sharing each artifact path, and registrations are recorded against all of them, so the pack that selected a policy the artifact never registered is measured against what actually loaded rather than against its neighbour.

The end-to-end regression you asked for is in pack-shared-artifact.test.ts: a shared artifact that imports cleanly, registers block-refunds only, and a manifest where the non-winning pack selects require-deploy-note scoped to Write. Its declared scope denies; the winner's Bash scope, which did register, still allows — so the fix does not over-correct into a blanket. Verified the first assertion fails without it (exitCode 0, no deny).

One incidental: the alias map is read through an optional chain. A test that stubs the loader has no such map, and the honest reading of its absence is "this id only" — the same answer the map gives for an artifact only one pack resolved to.

Gates green: tsc 0, lint 0 errors, build exit 0, e2e 333/333, unit 4841 passed (8 failures are the locally-emptied dogfood configs).

  • Medium/High Do not treat identical artifact bytes as a pack rename — priorRecordFor accepts a record with the same SHA-256 even when its id differs (src/hooks/pack-store.ts:618). upsertInstalled then removes every differently named record with that digest (src/hooks/pack-store.ts:1157). Thus, after installing acme/one with a narrowed selection, adding other/two whose entry artifact is byte-identical replaces and removes acme/one; digest equality proves shared code, not that the user intended a rename. The loader already supports multiple pack records sharing one artifact. (src/hooks/pack-store.ts:618)
