Refresh the maintained SkillSpector patch so frozen consumers select certifi 2026.10.23. The existing Responses adapter source patch remains intact. Add the maintainer changelog entry with credit to @joshavant.

The wheel and sdist URLs, SHA-256 values, and sizes match the official PyPI release metadata. Applied the complete patch to pinned SkillSpector source 95a52d89fa16f608f0b18ccee76b0918ea4b7eef: uv lock --locked passes, and uv 0.13.5 lock --upgrade-package certifi reproduces the patched lockfile byte for byte.

This updates the certificate bundle, not the Python runtime. Removing affected roots does not reject an explicitly supplied historical root. The contributor's installed-provider proof distinguishes root removal from the separate Python 3.12.16 key-rejection fix and retains a legitimate private-CA positive control. The registry still has no python:3.12.16-slim image, so image/runtime delivery remains a separate gap. No image publication or deployed-fleet remediation is claimed.

Validation: all Go tests and vet passed locally under low priority with two build jobs; docs-site build passed; independent P0–P3 review found no actionable findings. The rebuilt Go 1.27.3-compatible govulncheck reports no vulnerabilities. Final-head hosted checks remain required before landing. The original PR head also passed native amd64/arm64 runtime image verification and CI.

Codex review: needs maintainer review before merge.

What this changes

This PR updates the maintained SkillSpector patch to lock certifi 2026.10.23 instead of 2026.6.17.

Example: A frozen SkillSpector installation connects to dv-g3b-emudhra.we-have-a-problem.com using default certificate trust.

• Before: The supplied baseline provider trace reaches HTTP 405 with certifi 2026.6.17.
• After: The certifi 2026.10.23 installation rejects the issuer; rejecting an explicitly supplied historical chain additionally requires the separately demonstrated CPython 3.12.16 runtime.

Review scores

Measure	Result	What it means
Overall readiness	🐚 platinum hermit (4/6)	A minimal, correct dependency-lock repair supported by installed-provider transport evidence; deployment and broader runtime remediation remain outside its claims.
Proof confidence	🐚 platinum hermit (4/6)	Sufficient (logs): The updated body identifies the exact source and patch, reports actual frozen installation, and supplies retained output through the installed provider and real TLS transport: legitimate private-CA model success, certifi-only default-root rejection, and historical-root rejection with separately identified CPython 3.12.16; this satisfies the prior rank-up request without attributing runtime protection to certifi alone.
Patch quality	🦞 diamond lobster (5/6)	No actionable review findings were identified.

Product

Kind: Bug fix · Worth it: Yes · Fix scope: Complete
User problem: Frozen scanner installations retain older certificate roots despite refreshed dependencies in newly resolved runtime environments.
Reason: The verified consumer uses the affected lock, and maintainer direction authorizes this narrow trust refresh without claiming a complete runtime or deployment repair.

Merge readiness

✅ Ready for maintainer review

Keep this PR open: the frozen-installation fix is absent from main, and the updated evidence resolves the prior proof request without revealing an actionable patch defect.

Agent review details

How this fits together

ClawScan maintains patches for pinned scanner sources; frozen consumers apply this patch before resolving the upstream lock, whose certificate bundle controls provider TLS trust.

Technical review

Best possible solution:

Land the focused frozen-lock refresh while retaining separate ownership of the Python runtime upgrade and image delivery.

Do we have a high-confidence way to reproduce the issue?

The pinned upstream lock and verified frozen installer establish the old certificate selection, while supplied baseline provider observations demonstrate affected-peer acceptance without a reviewer-run reproduction.

Is this the best way to solve the issue?

Updating the existing maintained patch is the smallest complete fix for frozen dependency selection and preserves the established adapter owner.

Provenance checked

• Maintained SkillSpector integration patch keeps the original intent (5be7f8e: feat: adopt Sol scanner policy with compatible Responses adapters #68 established owned patches for pinned scanner dependencies and required consumers to install matching patched sources.)

Testing

Proof path: in-process harness.

None.

Evidence

What I checked:

• Verified introduced change: The pinned introduction diff adds only a uv.lock patch: lock revision 3 becomes 5, certifi becomes 2026.10.23, and its source and wheel metadata change together; existing adapter hunks remain intact. (docker/clawscan-runtime/patches/skillspector-responses.patch:391, f35fb2679e13)
• Exact upstream lock verified: The exact scanner source named by the Dockerfile contains lock revision 3 and the matching certifi 2026.6.17 artifact entries, establishing the original input for the new hunk. (uv.lock:230, 95a52d89fa16)
• Verified frozen consumer and dependency-policy signal: The installer in fix: use patched Python and frozen scanner certificate trust clawhub#4061 applies ClawScan's maintained patch and invokes uv 0.13.5 sync --locked; that PR pins this producer head and separately selects Python 3.12.16, making its installer contract relevant to the proof. (scripts/security/install-clawscan-scanners.sh:38, ec07d01ffa96)
• Updated final-effect proof: The full PR body now supplies installed-provider observations for baseline, certifi-only, and patched-runtime combinations, including a legitimate private-CA POST and certificate rejection during connection establishment; it expressly distinguishes root removal from historical-root key rejection. (f35fb2679e13)
• Runtime boundary and accepted scope: The Dockerfile installs SkillSpector with pip rather than its uv.lock; the maintainer-authored PR explicitly leaves the Python image upgrade and publication separate, consistent with fix(security): refresh scanner runtime trust inputs #89. (docker/clawscan-runtime/Dockerfile:41, 1e9057b6e8e1)
• Exact-head native validation: https://github.com/openclaw/clawscan/actions/runs/40276567119 identifies the reviewed head and successful native amd64 and arm64 runtime verification; publication was skipped and is not treated as deployment proof. (f35fb2679e13)

Label justifications:

• P2: A focused certificate-trust correction for frozen scanner installations, with no demonstrated urgent user-facing outage.
• merge-risk: 🚨 security-boundary: The dependency update changes which TLS peers can receive provider requests; supplied provider traces cover legitimate private trust and affected-peer rejection, and the maintainer-authored scope explicitly separates historical-root key rejection.

[steipete]

The frozen lock reproduces byte for byte against the exact upstream source, and both artifact hashes match PyPI. Go tests, vet, vulnerability scan, docs build, and independent P0–P3 review passed. Approval retains the documented distinction between root removal and the still-separate Python runtime delivery.

[steipete]

Validated the frozen SkillSpector patch against exact upstream 95a52d89fa16f608f0b18ccee76b0918ea4b7eef. Official PyPI wheel/sdist hashes and sizes match; uv 0.13.5 regenerates the patched lock byte for byte and accepts uv lock --locked.

All Go tests, vet, docs-site generation, and a Go 1.27.3-compatible govulncheck passed; no vulnerabilities were found. Independent review through P3 found no actionable findings. The final-head CI and native amd64/arm64 runtime verification are required for landing.

The certifi update removes affected default roots. It does not independently reject an operator-supplied historical root; patched Python remains a separate runtime-delivery requirement. The registry currently has no python:3.12.16-slim manifest, and no manual runtime image publication is part of this change.

Merged as 022143b39b3285d1ac24cce7fbb61c36f5207935. Post-merge CI passed Linux and macOS; CodeQL also passed. The automatic runtime workflow passed both native platform builds and completed manifest publication. No manual publication, project release, Git tag, or version bump was performed.
