Audit item 10: the redaction/sensitive-file/secret-rules policy was process-global, so in serve mode the last-built agent's policy clobbered every other workspace's guards. Policy is now an immutable *tools.Policy snapshot built once per agent and carried through the tool constructors and the wire mask; nil falls back to the built-in secure defaults. ஃ Generated with Phosphor Assisted-by: Phosphor:CYBER-FROST-3.8-EXL3-SAGE-3.87bpw

orDefault()callsdefaultPolicy()for every nil receiver. That allocates a new policy with two maps, a pattern slice, and more fields. Most helpers callorDefault()several times per invocation. Examples areredactSecretsAt,filterFindings,classifySensitiveFile, andredactDotenvValues.

defaultRedactionPolicy()does not settokens. The default has tokenization off. Nothing mutates the result after construction. One shared immutable default is safe.Proposed fix

It is -// fresh per call so its token store is never shared across agents. -func defaultPolicy() *Policy { - return defaultRedactionPolicy() -} +// defaultPolicy returns the shared built-in secure defaults for callers that +// have no agent-bound policy (tests, tools constructed outside a coordinator). +// It has tokenization off and no token store, and callers must not mutate it. +var defaultPolicy = sync.OnceValue(defaultRedactionPolicy)Add

Review comments at @internal/filepathext/bounds.go:
- Around line 35-37: Update the case-folded fallback condition in the code using
runtime.GOOS and insideRel to apply on Windows and macOS, while preserving the
existing case-sensitive behavior on other platforms. Update the corresponding
two platform expectations in the bounds tests to match.
Review comments at @pkg/agent/coordinator.go:
- Around line 944-945: Freeze the redaction policy per coordinator: update
buildAgent to initialize c.redactionPolicy only when nil, then reuse it for the
agent’s wire mask and tools. Keep UpdateModels reusing the existing policy
rather than replacing it, so asynchronous construction cannot use different
policy instances.
Review comments at @pkg/shell/confinement.go:
- Around line 112-129: Update the cd handling in the command handler to resolve
bare cd from hc.Env’s HOME value and pass that target through conf.Blocked.
Resolve cd - from hc.Env’s OLDPWD value and validate it with conf.Blocked before
allowing the command to proceed, so the directory is not entered or printed
before validation; remove the now-unused os import.
Review comments at @pkg/shell/shell.go:
- Around line 288-306: Update `wrappedProgram` to account for wrapper flags that
consume a following value, using a per-wrapper flag table keyed by wrapper name;
pass the wrapper name from its caller and skip the next token for a listed flag
without an `=`. Add coverage to `TestCommandsBlockerWrapperBypass` for the
listed wrapper commands, verifying the deny list still detects the wrapped
`curl`.

Review findings addressed in 91d9ed0..79715a8:
All packages green: |
The probe stats the workspace root in both case spellings solely to decide whether the filesystem ignores case; no file content is read or written and probe failures fail closed. ஃ Generated with Phosphor Assisted-by: Phosphor:CYBER-FROST-3.8-EXL3-SAGE-3.87bpw
CodeQL does not associate a comment above an if statement with a sink inside the if's initializer clause, so the path-injection suppression on the probe's os.Stat calls was ignored. Hoist the Stat calls to plain assignment statements, where the suppression comment attaches. ஃ Generated with Phosphor Assisted-by: Phosphor:CYBER-FROST-3.8-EXL3-SAGE-3.87bpw
The `codeql[query-id] ignore -- reason` form is not valid; the CodeQL standard library expects `codeql[query-id] ignore,reason=...,justification=...`. Rewrite the three path-injection suppressions in bounds.go so the case-probe and Readlink false positives stay suppressed across scans. ஃ Generated with Phosphor Assisted-by: Phosphor:CYBER-FROST-3.8-EXL3-SAGE-3.87bpw
The `ignore,reason=...,justification=...` form is not recognized for these dataflow results: the scan of the merge preview containing it still flagged both sinks. CodeQL's own AlertSuppression test file enumerates the accepted forms, none of which use `ignore`: `codeql[query-id]`, `codeql[query-id] -- reason`, block comments, and trailing same-line comments. Switch all three suppressions to the verified `codeql[query-id] -- reason` form. ஃ Generated with Phosphor Assisted-by: Phosphor:CYBER-FROST-3.8-EXL3-SAGE-3.87bpw

…udit (#52) * fix: close the three residual findings from the 2026-10-20 security audit Completes the audit follow-up left open after #50 and #51: - csync.Map no longer exposes a value-receiver JSONSchemaAlias that copies its own mutex (go vet copylocks). The config JSON schema is now produced by a Reflector.Mapper in the schema command, which also fixes the slash-containing $defs key that broke JSON Pointer $ref resolution for provider entries. - NewFetchTool/NewDownloadTool accept the config so their no-client fallback builds a fail-closed secured client that honors allow_raw_ips and ip_allow_list instead of silently ignoring them. - Security docs no longer point at stale internal/ paths, and the startup symlink-resolution section describes what the code actually does (resolution happens after config parsing, before store construction). ஃ Generated with Phosphor Assisted-by: Phosphor:CYBER-FROST-3.8-EXL3-SAGE-3.87bpw * fix: resolve the dangling ProviderConfig $ref in the generated config schema CodeRabbit flagged that the providers mapper emits $ref: "#/$defs/ProviderConfig" while the mapper short-circuits the reflector before the value type is traversed, so ProviderConfig never lands in $defs and validators cannot resolve the reference. Add a newConfigSchema() helper that reflects ProviderConfig with ExpandedStruct and promotes its nested definitions to the root, and point both the schema command and the schema tests at it so they validate the exact document the command emits. Also quote the -run regex in the hardening docs so the documented test command is copy-pasteable, and clarify that the workspace config merge happens after ConfigStore construction. ஃ Generated with Phosphor Assisted-by: Phosphor:CYBER-FROST-3.8-EXL3-SAGE-3.87bpw * chore: disable CodeRabbit docstring-coverage check for the Go codebase Go has no docstrings; godoc comments enforced by our own linters are the Go idiom, so the Python-centric coverage gate flags every Go diff with a false positive. Verified against the CodeRabbit configuration reference: reviews.pre_merge_checks.docstrings.mode: "off" is the supported toggle. ஃ Generated with Phosphor Assisted-by: Phosphor:CYBER-FROST-3.8-EXL3-SAGE-3.87bpw
