5-Step Verification Engine Release

This major release introduces a strict, non-bypassable 5-check verification system that significantly enhances the security and reliability of operation validation.

Key Features

5-Step Verification Engine

• CHECK 1: Parameter Validation - validates input parameters for correctness and completeness
• CHECK 2: Permission & Scope Validation - verifies operation is within allowed scopes and user permissions
• CHECK 3: Result Validation - validates operation result structure and success status
• CHECK 4: Data Integrity & Consistency Validation - verifies data consistency across operations
• CHECK 5: Idempotency & Safety Validation - validates operation safety and retry safety

Security Enhancements

• Pre-execution verification to catch issues before operations run
• Bulk operation protection requiring _bulk_confirmed=true
• Destructive operation protection requiring _safety_confirmed=true
• Enhanced scope validation for OAuth permissions
• Data corruption detection with truncation markers
• Word-boundary regex matching for bulk keyword detection

Breaking Changes

• VerificationEngine.verify() now runs all 5 checks in sequence
• Operations may require additional confirmation markers (_safety_confirmed, _bulk_confirmed)
• Configurable verification behavior via environment variables

Fixes

• Bandit B101 security warnings in test files
• Type annotation issues in agent_system.py and safety_guard.py
• Backward compatibility issues with validation tests
• False positive bulk detection from "all" keyword
