摘要

adversary-gate 的 specs/** 谓词精化:命中只统计可审计 spec 体(变更路径所属
specs/

/ 在 PR head 上存在 spec.md——adversary 目标契约
specs//{spec.md,suite/,run-suite.sh} 的判别面)。无 spec.md 的 specs/ 目录
(如 AI_Web_School specs/test-freeze 的 MANIFEST.sha256 哈希账本)是机器可校验
派生资产,非红队审计对象——完整性由自身哈希链执法。此类"specs 邻接变更"按
EXPECTED_SKIP 写 success check 放行。

变更路径选择

  • AC-14:豁免谓词由 diff 路径集确定性派生(禁人工打标)——本精化以
    diff 路径 + PR head 树的 spec.md 存在性派生,无人工标注介入;
  • 备选:expected_skip.py 的 owner 登记豁免清单(ADR-0032)——但 MANIFEST 是
    每波次重签的常态资产,逐 PR 登记豁免不可持续,且逐仓清单漂移面更大;
  • fail-closed 保持:specs/ 根直挂文件视为可审计、files API 失败负向断言、
    spec 体变更须 survived、merge_group 人工核均不变。

触发实例

AI_Web_School#169(specs/test-freeze/MANIFEST.sha256 重签):原谓词
startswith("specs/") 误伤——该目录无 spec.md,adversary 攻击预检即 exit 2
(目标契约不成立),PR 永无 survived 通道,恒红无解。

关联

  • ISSUE-263 AC-14(EXPECTED_SKIP 确定性派生豁免)/ ADR-0082 / ADR-0083

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • 改进
    • 预检流程现在可区分可审计的规范变更与相关附属文件变更。
    • 仅当规范目录包含 spec.md 时,才会按规范变更进行审计。
    • 不包含 spec.md 的附属文件变更将标记为可通过检查,减少不必要的拦截。
    • specs/ 根目录下的文件仍会按可审计变更处理。

specs/** 命中只统计可审计 spec 体:变更路径所属 specs/<dir>/ 在 PR head
上存在 spec.md(adversary 目标契约判别面)。无 spec.md 的 specs/ 目录
(test-freeze 的 MANIFEST 哈希账本等派生资产)→ EXPECTED_SKIP 写 success
check 放行——其完整性由自身哈希链执法,红队无面可攻。

- 判定由 diff 路径集 + head 树确定性派生(禁人工打标,AC-14 语义收敛)
- specs/ 根直挂文件 fail-closed 视为可审计(判别面外不放行)
- API 失败负向断言不变;spec 体变更路径与 merge_group fail-closed 均不变

触发实例:AI_Web_School#169(specs/test-freeze/MANIFEST.sha256 重签——
无 spec.md 审计体,原谓词误伤恒红且无解)。

Refine adversary gate for non-auditable specs assets

🐞 Bug fix ⚙️ Configuration changes 🕐 20-40 Minutes

Grey Divider

AI Description

• Distinguishes auditable spec bodies from adjacent generated assets using PR-head spec.md
 presence.
• Emits deterministic EXPECTED_SKIP success checks when all changed spec directories are
 non-auditable.
• Preserves fail-closed handling for API failures, root files, and auditable spec changes.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Owner-managed exemption list
  • ➕ Makes every exempt asset explicit and centrally reviewable.
  • ➕ Can reuse the existing expected-skip ownership mechanism.
  • ➖ Requires recurring registration for regenerated manifests.
  • ➖ Introduces manual classification and repository-specific drift contrary to AC-14.
2. Repository-tree batch lookup
  • ➕ Could classify all changed directories with fewer API requests.
  • ➕ Provides one consistent snapshot of the PR-head specs tree.
  • ➖ Requires more parsing and pagination logic.
  • ➖ Adds complexity for a small number of top-level spec directories.

Recommendation: Keep the PR's diff-plus-PR-head predicate. It directly models the adversary target contract, avoids manual exemptions, and preserves fail-closed handling; a batch tree lookup is only worthwhile if API-call volume becomes material.

Classify specs-adjacent assets before adversary enforcement

• The PR preflight now checks whether each changed top-level 'specs/' directory contains 'spec.md' at the pull-request head. Changes confined to directories without an auditable spec body receive a successful EXPECTED_SKIP check, while API failures, root-level specs files, and auditable spec changes retain fail-closed behavior.

高严重级别:保留目录名边界,避免绕过审计。

for d in $(...) 会按空白字符拆分目录名。PR 可添加 specs/foo bar/spec.md。循环会检查 foo/spec.mdbar/spec.md,而不会检查实际的 foo bar/spec.md。随后工作流会写入 EXPECTED_SKIP success check,绕过该 spec 体的 adversary 审计。

使用 JSON 结构化处理完整路径。不要通过命令替换、换行或 shell 词拆分传递目录名。调用 Contents API 时也必须对路径段进行 URL 编码;无法安全解析时应 fail-closed。

Action required

1. Canonical spec bypasses audit 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
The predicate considers only spec.md, so changes to the signed canonical body
specs/IR-0003/constitution.md are classified as adjacent and receive a successful adversary check.
This bypasses the repository rule requiring red-team review for spec/test-design changes.
Code

.github/workflows/adversary-gate.yml[R112-115]

+                if gh api "repos/${{ github.repository }}/contents/specs/$d/spec.md?ref=$HEAD_SHA" >/dev/null 2>&1; then

Canonical constitution changes are spec changes, but lookup only recognizes spec.md; close precedent
favors enforcement.

PR-#481
PR-#313

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The new lookup recognizes only specs/$d/spec.md, while the repository identifies IR-0003's
differently named file as its signed canonical document and requires adversary review for
spec/test-design paths.

## Issue description
The adjacent predicate exempts `specs/IR-0003/constitution.md`, although that file is the signed canonical IR-0003 body.

2. Spec deletion gets skipped 🐞 Bug ⛨ Security
Description
Deleting or renaming away specs/<dir>/spec.md makes the head-tree lookup return missing, which
classifies the contract removal as adjacent and writes a successful EXPECTED_SKIP check. A PR can
therefore remove an auditable spec body without supplying a survived adversary audit.
Code

.github/workflows/adversary-gate.yml[R112-115]

+                if gh api "repos/${{ github.repository }}/contents/specs/$d/spec.md?ref=$HEAD_SHA" >/dev/null 2>&1; then

Using head-tree existence misclassifies deleted spec bodies as adjacent skips, bypassing audit
enforcement.

PR-#481
PR-#313

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
Directories come from changed filenames, but auditability is tested only against the head SHA; when
the body was removed, the failed lookup feeds ADJACENT_DIRS, then has_specs=adjacent triggers a
completed-success check.

## Issue description
A deleted or renamed-away `spec.md` is absent from the head tree and is therefore incorrectly treated as a non-auditable adjacent directory.

3. Lookup failures fail open 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability
Description
Every failed per-directory contents request—including rate limits, permission errors, and transient
GitHub failures—is interpreted as proof that spec.md does not exist. If all lookups fail, the
workflow grants a successful adjacent skip instead of preserving the stated fail-closed behavior.
Code

.github/workflows/adversary-gate.yml[R112-115]

+                if gh api "repos/${{ github.repository }}/contents/specs/$d/spec.md?ref=$HEAD_SHA" >/dev/null 2>&1; then

The contents lookup conflates an exact not-found response with every operational/API failure, allowing failures to produce a green check.

4. Whitespace paths bypass audit 🐞 Bug ⛨ Security
Description
for d in $(...) applies shell word splitting to directory names, so a valid path such as
specs/foo bar/spec.md is checked as nonexistent directories foo and bar. The workflow then
labels the actual auditable directory adjacent and emits a successful skip.
Code

.github/workflows/adversary-gate.yml[R109-112]

+              for d in $(echo "$SPECS_HITS" | sed 's|^specs/||' | cut -d/ -f1 | sort -u); do

Whitespace splitting is a concrete shell bug causing valid paths to bypass required audit checks.

PR-#481

Evidence
Python emits paths line-by-line, but the unquoted command substitution in the shell loop splits on
whitespace before each fabricated token is looked up; failed token lookups flow directly to adjacent

4. Lookup failures fail open 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability

Every failed per-directory contents request—including rate limits, permission errors, and transient
GitHub failures—is interpreted as proof that spec.md does not exist. If all lookups fail, the
workflow grants a successful adjacent skip instead of preserving the stated fail-closed behavior.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
The contents lookup conflates an exact not-found response with every operational/API failure, allowing failures to produce a green check.

## Issue Context
Only a confirmed 404 may establish absence. Authentication, rate-limit, transport, server, and malformed-response failures must set `has_specs=true` or fail the job.

5. Whitespace paths bypass audit 🐞 Bug ⛨ Security

for d in $(...) applies shell word splitting to directory names, so a valid path such as
specs/foo bar/spec.md is checked as nonexistent directories foo and bar. The workflow then
labels the actual auditable directory adjacent and emits a successful skip.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
Shell word splitting corrupts specs directory names containing whitespace, allowing an auditable body to be misclassified as adjacent.

## Issue Context
Preserve each filename/directory as an exact value, preferably by emitting NUL-delimited records or performing the classification in Python; also safely encode the path used for the API request.
